There are no words to describe how wonderful it is to see a 'Woohoo the backbone graft took!Bella, and a 'Sweet Jesus, that old boy may yet be worth shootin' self-aware!Edward".   Sweet Tweedy lord, they can grow up, and everyone GETS IT!!

Choke on that, SM!

Really, though, you paint them so well, so strong and yet so very fragle and mortal. To see Bella become frontier!Bella to find her own self worth, and for Edward to FINALLY understand that his actions render him the monster he always believed himself to be is just splended. Thanks for all this!

 

PS RE:AN at the beginning of the last chapter: Vous roche de types.

loving it! so unique and excellent character building with Reyerson.

I wish I knew!!!! I really, really enjoy this story! I sat down and read the whole thing tonight!!!! It's amazing so please keep it up! And... I understand, my mom's a teacher! Can't wait for more!!!

MORE!!!!  I love this story.  You are in my top 10 and I have about 50 stories in my favs!!!  I can't wait for more.  Longer chapters if possible?!?!?  :o}

Wow...that was intense. very good writing.

It is very, very well written. Although, it was a bit confusing in the beginning and I had started to wonder if it was twilight related at all. However, as I reached the end of the chapter it all cleared up. Once again, very well written, and I'm continuing on reading as I am eager to see where you're taking this.

It was nice to see the family give him holy hell for his deeds, but with a foundation in their love for him. Great story.

Thank you, Dr. Reyerson.

I am glad that she got her pain out against Edward.

That was an absolutely beautiful chapter, exquisitely written by you.  I will say that in all honestly the ending broke my heart just a little.  However I have no doubts that you will lead me toward the ending that will mend my fracture.  Bella and Edward are both grieving, but in somewhat different ways.  Edward is desperate to move on from his dispair, and he sees the only means of doing that within Bella.  She, on the other hand, sees her only recourse as being without him and avoiding any and all opportunity for history to repeat itself and Edward devastate her yet again.  I am finding solace in their parting words and thoughts, "I'll think of you."  "So will I be." 

I just want you to know that I admire you for the work that you will be doing in your role as a student teacher.  I, as a social worker, deal daily with the stress and frustration that comes from having little to work with in trying to help people who don't have the things they need in life, and thus I empathize with what you are going through.  Your work will be hard, with probably little in the way of monetary compensation.  However, take solace in the knowledge that you are acting selflessly and trying as hard as you can to make the lives of those kids better.  Even if you don't hear it or see it directly, day to day, know that you are making a difference in a life, and in the world, if you can help one child to reach their potential.  You obviously are very articulate and creative, as exemplified by your writing of this piece, so I have no doubts that you will do great in your career.  Don't fret if you can not update as often as you used to.  I understand that while I look forward to your updates and enjoy reading what you have created, you do have a higher purpose other than making me happy with your writing.  However, do update when you can and maybe use the writing as a means to channel your stress into something helpful for you.  Take care.

Wow, that was a heartwrenching chpater.  Bella's words sounded an awful lot like goodbye, but I don't think Edward is going to let her keep him out of her life now that they've found each other.  Anxiously awaiting the next update!!

Amazing chapter!   Can't wait to read more!
