Wow, Beautiful... and your story is way better than this post, which is not really coherent.
I am in a rush and just want to say:
Must be the best alternate story I've ever read (but I am not usually a fan of Alt-universes, this is only a reflection of how much I liked your story, not whether or not the others were bad... A POSITIVE COMMENT>>> NOT MEANT TO BE NEGATIVE)
great Job... so touching, and so real...
gives- ALT-Clark some positive feelings, mostly I have seen him as negative and bitter... missing his Lois... this way he is focused on the positive... seeing the future in children...
Even an opening for the creation of the Alternate Utopia through rejuvenating the farm... I think that was the best part
