She cried then. She tried to hide it and walk away so I wouldn’t know, but I had her in a hug before she could move ten feet away. That night, we talked about it for hours…both of us. We sat up and lamented all the things I’d never get to do, all the milestones we’d never see, all of it. We never said anything about it, but somehow we silently agreed that this would be the last time we’d give into self-pity.
The agreement we made out loud was to be together, really and truly, for the rest of the time we had. We still disagreed about the chemo, but she didn’t say anything against it when I told her that I wanted to do it. We both knew that it would be in our minds constantly, but we vowed not to let it take over our thoughts. I knew it’d be a lot harder for her to try to be happy, and that hurt me because there was nothing I could do to stop it. She just said that it wasn’t fair for me to feel responsible for her pain, and we went from there. It’s not an exact science by any means, but we don’t let the looming pink elephant take over our lives. We just live, in every way we can. I don’t know if that even comes close to making sense to someone not going through it, but in some weird way it made perfect sense to us.
It didn’t take long for the family to rally. I’d known it wouldn’t, but for some reason the support I got was overwhelming to me. Privately, I begged all of them to support Alice instead of me. I was just happy they were around, to be honest. She was the one that would need them all to hold her up before too long. I kept trying to explain to them that I was happy. I’m pretty sure none of them ever got it, not the way Alice did. She probably understood it better than I did when it came right down to it, but then again, she’s always been great at reading people and understanding how they feel. It’s what makes her such a good friend, the one everybody goes to. I’ve always loved her for it, mostly because if you ever pointed it out to her she’d just tell you to fuck off and that it wasn’t a big deal.

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.
I totally can’t comment on how amazing that was so I’m not gonna even try.xx
