Dana
I couldn’t believe it when I woke up and saw the entire room covered in flowers. I thought I was dreaming. I’d only mentioned the wildflowers once to Alice, when I’d woken up the first time I’d had an infection, years ago when I first got cancer. I couldn’t believe she’d remembered, mostly because I’d been pissed when I said it.
I almost lost it when Angie gave me the ring. It was one of those things that’s so perfect that you end up hating the Fates for not giving it perfect timing. Of course, that didn’t matter, and all the sadness and rage I felt at not being able to give Alice the life she deserved went away when I saw her interacting with Angie. In that second I knew I’d be damn lucky to have her hand in marriage even if it was only for a millisecond. That alone would validate everything in my life.
Watching her with our niece, I was struck once again at how natural she is around kids. Angie adored her, and I could see why. I’ve never understood why the kid loves me so much. I love her more than I can express, but I’m so damn awkward around her. Alice isn’t, not in any way. As I watched them together, I wanted more than anything to tell her what a great mother she would have been, if we had the chance. Would be. I made myself promise to tell her that she had to have children someday, after I was gone. I wanted that for her, even if I couldn’t give it to her. I still wanted her to have that happiness.
I said yes as soon as Alice stood up and walked over to me. She just laughed, and it was the greatest sound in the world. "I didn’t hear anybody ask a question. Did you, Angie?" she asked. Angelica frowned.
"You just did!" she answered. Alice just laughed again.
"Yes, huh?" she asked, looking into my eyes. She was happy, but there was nothing resembling a joke in her eyes. She looked so anxious I could barely stand it. I couldn’t speak; I’d have started crying if I tried. So I just nodded, and kept nodding as she kissed me. I was vaguely aware of Angelica running out of the room. The group much have been sitting right outside, because before a minute had passed I heard her say, "Alice and Dana are kissing!" We just laughed and kept kissing.

I wanted to stay in my happy place and I was really reluctant to read this story. The fact that it was written by you, persuaded me and I’m glad I did. Even though I am crying my eyes out right now, I’m happy to know thatDana spends her last days with the love of her life and is surrounded by her friends. The story captivated me so much that, after reading it, I realized my music player had been playing Akon with I wanna f*ck you on repeat (don’t ask me why). So I’ve been listening to the most unromatic song while reading your immensly moving story! Weird huh?! Anyways, looking forward to the wedding chapter (and looking less forward to the part where we have to say goodbye to Dana).
I cant express how amazing I thought that was, you’ve got me crying my eyes out. Your writing just blows me away. If I’m crying now I’m gonna be so much worse next chapter but I know its gonna be incredible. You are so unbelievably talented x
hey, I just caught up with this. What can I say? This is one strong piece. I’m kinda speechless. Like some other readers here I was getting choked up while reading some parts. The proposal for example and so many more. I’m glad you decided this to be 3 parts, cause seriously, I couldn’t take more of it, since I know what’s going to happen. AND I’m glad you decided to not put this storyline into your other story. Cause that’s my happy one. And you better be updating that fast, lol.;)Great work.
Fantastic piece of work – so sad, yet so happy, looking forward to more very soon.
i don’t think i’ve commented on any story in months but after reading that chapter i couldn’t NOT comment! you literally had me choking on that lump you get at the back of your throat when you’re fighting off tears. i did managed to hold off the tears until the part about alice and the group going to pick fresh flowers. that’s when i completely lost it! you’ve written your version of dana’s cancer story so beautifully. this story it really gives “bittersweet” a whole new meaning. thank you for giving us danish lovers something so precious. i can’t wait to read the final chapter
Wow!I can’t stop crying I can’t wait till they get married
OMG I’ve not cried so much in a long long time…It’s a sad story butits done in such a great way…..I need to get the hankies out for the next chapter I think! PPS
WOW…Okay I’m totally tearing up at work, but at least I am watching The View in the background which is making me laugh…WOW WOW WOW…this is so beautiful! (BTW I do love my job, just a rough time in the industry). Your writing is amazing! Just simply amazing! I have a feeling when the final chapter comes I will need at least a bottle of wine and a box of tissues.
Beautifully sad. Simple as. You have a gift for writing that stirs up emotions I didn’t think were possbile while reading a fictional story. :)
Beautiful as always.
