Cool story.
Beautiful!
The rawness comes through beautifully. To paraphrase something I heard once: Pain is opposite joy on the coin of love.

Thank you, I wrote this on a whim, just feelings I needed to let out. I like that quote, I'm going to adopt it, thank you.
Oh Apple Bloom, sweet filly
Vulnerability is hard. The way Apple Bloom forced a smile for as long as possible, repeats the positives for each negative, strikes me as genuine. Take care during the holidays, friend.
I wrote a story once, inspired by Sittin’ On the Dock of the Bay, it was written shortly after my grandfather had a massive heart attack. It was a sort of ‘what if’ thing, wondering what would’ve happened if he died after that. He isn’t dead, and is in fact alive and well, and that’s part of the reason why I think that story fell flat, because it didn’t happen.
Sure, I was interjecting my feelings, but they weren’t real and tangible, I don’t know what it’s like to lose someone super close to me.
You clearly do.
One of the biggest arguments I have with myself when writing stories like this is, is this too much of a blog post? I’m so concerned with writing a story that is actually a story that I don’t stop and think about what the story could be if it was raw and unedited.
I love this story, because it’s raw. You’re clearly writing this from a place very close to you, and it comes off fantastically. So, good job on writing what I wish I could’ve years ago.

To me, it's not smiling through the pain, it's embracing both. It hurts that he's gone, but I'm thankful he was here to begin with. Apple Bloom's smile is true because she loved her parents, but her pain about losing them is also true. It parallels how I feel about my grandfather.
Thank you, I hope you have a Happy Hearthswarming

I didn't know what it was like to lose someone like this until I was much older. I was 9 when my grandfather passed away and back then, while I missed him, I didn't think of him as I do now. I didn't think about him the way I do now. It's rough, but it's bittersweet in a way, too. It's hard to put in words, so that's why I wrote this without giving much thought and just letting feelings flow.
I'm happy to see that this little thing resonated with others. Thank you all.

Yup, pretty much the whole reason I wrote this fic is because of this song. It shows, really. It reminded me of my own feelings for my grandfather so I used that to channel them.
Jyc Row is just amazing like that.
full of emotion, as I expected. You can definitely feel it while reading it, and even though you say its raw and unedited, i think that adds to it. thanks for writing
