Excellent story with a beautiful ending. I think I didn't explain my previous comment well. When I say that I have mixed feelings about a story ending, it is a big compliment. I will miss your writing, and while this story is at a stopping point, it also could easily have one or more sequels. If that's not in your plans, I accept and honor that. And if in the future your muse has a inspiration, I'm sure I'm not the only one in line to read it.
