Oh the feels...
2036271 Can't hold 'em all, can you?
2036280 Why, thank you! I greatly appreciate your thoughts; I really went all out for this story in terms of emotional feelings. Not to a point of tears, but still.
Fantastic job!
2036657 Thanks. *hands you a tissue*
2036675 Thanks.
lol
My feels have just been scattered into a minefield.
Now I have to go retrieve them.
Great story and well written. I've lost almost all my relatives too and the ones that are alive hate my families guts, so I literally have no one to go to. So this one hits home the most. Thanks for writing it.
2036886 That's exactly why I wrote it. So many people feel the same way you and I feel. Most people around the age I'm at have lost someone close to them, so the feeling is a familiar one. I wrote it because people can understand this and know that they aren't alone with the sad feeling of losing someone. So thank you for your comment.
I lost my Granma in mid 2009
She was an awesome Granma, I used to travel over fifty miles just to see her.
Great I'm crying now
2037796 I'm terribly sorry for your loss. But you were a really great grandchild to travel so far just to see her.
That was the most beautiful story ever!
And I love the fact that you used somepony that is usually so strong, but really is just as weak as everypony else. 
That was awsome and yet it hit me hard in the feels. This deserves to be seen by more people. The story you wrote was both sad yet heart warming.
Nicely Done.
2041963 "Most beautiful story ever"? I feel so honored for such words. And I like to add depth to characters in ways that many normally wouldn't see them in, such as Rainbow showing weakness.
2041969 Thank you. If only more people saw. But the love it gets is enough in the end, I suppose.
Great story. The feels were kinda personal for me because my grandfather died of cancer as well.
I think you missed a R in stranger I thought I would point that out. Again Great story.
2044793 Fixed! And I greatly know that feeling, too (and no doubt, many others do); the reason I used cancer for this was because that's what got my grandfather, as well. I didn't see any other reason to not use it. And I'm sorry about your grandfather.
2044908 It is ok it feels good to talk about it.
yes.....good......good.........let the feels go throgh you
So beautiful. I feel the emotion of it. There are few things that bring me close to crying in this world, and I feel this was one of those things.
That...was beautiful. I had the occasional tear roll down my cheek but didn't rub it off, I was too busy reading. It. Was. Beautiful.
This fic mean a lot for me. I almost lost my grandfather not long ago, thank god he is still with me but it was close... so close. Thank you for this fic, i realy do
.
2516881 I'm glad to hear he's doing well. I know that; something happened with my dog that made it really close, but it's moments like those that make you grateful for them.
No idea why but I kept expecting Death to sit beside Rainbow as she talked to her grandfather, creepy, eh?
Seriously though, this was amazing, really, really tugged at the heart strings, I'm so proud of you
Poor Dash, death is cruel, makes me wonder what life will be after death itself
This was nice. You certainly pulled off Rainbow's self-doubt in her own loyalty very convincingly, and even showed that she has more devotion than she gives herself credit for. There were a few sparse errors in here (most of which I forgot, but could easily be found and fixed with a thorough read through. There were also a few bits of narration that didn't seem OOC so much as awkwardly worded, but not bad overall.
Hello! Have a review. A story reminiscent of some of those from earlier times in the fandom in many ways. That isn't a bad thing as sometimes you just want a simple, quiet, reflective piece. This one is maybe a bit overwritten, though, laying on the emotions a little too thickly.
