Granny Smith is making sure her grandfoals are okay through these troubled times. She’s keeping everything in apple-pie order for them.
She’s perfectly fine. She’s doing it for them.
Just a writer. Not good with descriptions, though.

To lose members of your family... it's a hot knife to the guts and the pain never, ever goes away. It just becomes dull enough for you to function again. If you let it, at least...
RIP mom and dad... It's been six years...
It's never easy losing a parent at a young age. Once the innocence is gone, it can never be brought back.
This was a fantastic story. I love stories about the Apple Family, and this was no exception. As someone who is currently trying to navigate through grief and come out the other side as a whole, yet changed, person, I find Pound's name change to be beautifully symbolic. The emotions here are incredibly raw and real. I hope you're not writing from the same wellspring of pain, but it wouldn't be a surprise if you were. Excellent work either way.
Yeah, I suspect a lot of us know the feeling. Of being all too happy to trade places with someone, if only it were an option.
Awww omg! This was so sad and just…Gah! It’s a really good read. The writing is beautiful and though the situation is so heartbreaking it has this air of bittersweet. I felt a whole array of emotions while reading this, but the ending scene put a smile on my face.
I’m really happy I got a chance to experience this.
my folks are still around, but I reckon they don't have more than a decade or two left on account of health problems. That being said, knowing and being are veritable night and day in this issue. I can only pray that I'll have the strength and courage to weather the storm when it breaks.
This story's back and forth only made the suddenness all that more poignant. excellent work
This hits so hard, my parents ain't dead, but I'm growing up, I know that that one day will come, that one day I can't call myself a teenager anymore, that one day i'll have to do it all myself, we all know that day is coming,
but that doesn't mean it'll hurt any less.
This is were it got me. I can't stop crying at how well depicted it is the feeling of confusion and grief that impacts someone in this situation.
I had to take a few breaks while reading this story because of how emotionally engaged it got me.
I’ve not intentionally tried to ignore any of these comments. I’ve just not had any idea on how to react to such kind words blended with raw emotions — plus, my time spent on Fimfiction has been steadily dwindling since writing this fic.
For anyone who comments in the future: I will try to reply, but if I don’t, it doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate your words any less, and thank you for giving this fic your time of day, and having a reaction passionate enough to comment.

It’s been a while now, so I can’t remember when exactly I cried as I wrote this. It was the scene you took that quote from, though. For the most part, I wrote this fic with an unwavering sense of passion, though what was meant to be a one day spent on a whumpish delicacy, I think it spanned just over a day, so a day and a bit. Not many breaks though, just breakdowns.
Which is really saying something because I’m not the most overly sympathetic of people regarding most things. (LOL maybe I should stop tooting my own horn.)

Thank you for the kind words, and I hope the best for both of you. Thank you both for your time and comments, and sorry for how overdue this reply is. My tardiness is tasteless.

You’re so sweet and wonderful, thank you <3 I’m glad you enjoyed the work and am pleased to find it has touched you so thusly!

Thank you immensely! Possibly the most ego-boosting compliment here, followed closely by others. Actually — Pound Sweet was only settled on as a name for her because I didn’t hate it as much as other options. I don’t like the finality in it: choosing another name for a pre-existing character, I never have, but it had to be done.
Hello! I reviewed this fic some while ago, and here at last are your well deserved upvote, favourite and courtesy note. To quote myself from there: "The author beautifully captures the mix of determination and confusion, of love and loss, of anger and sweetness, that mark the aftermath of a harrowing sudden bereavement."
I note your previous comment, so I don't expect you to reply here. That's quite all right. Thank you for writing such a fine story.

Hi! Must reply due to the mention of a review? Never has the perusing of my email inbox been so surprising. Thank you for the kind words, well appreciated — this is also the first time I’ve seen that review, so I thank you kindly for that hyperlink! I’m deeply flattered.

You're more than welcome, and I'm just sorry I was so tardy in letting you know.
