I, too, love this story and hate to see it come to an end. I think you have run the gauntlet of our emotions in this story from sadness to jealousy to anger to happiness to being estatic. I can't think of an emotion you didn't cover. I hope we get many more stories from you. You are a very talented writer and have used the flashback setting very well.

I hope you will write some one shots with your little family. I for one would love to know about the twins to be (girls, boys, or one of each?). Please, let us visit them once in a while.

And it seems to me you lived your life (Albus)
Like a candle's golden flames,
Never fading with the sunset,
When Dark times appeared.
But, your footsteps will always fall here,
Along Hogwarts hallowed halls,
And, though your magic may be gone,
Your legend never will.

(My tribute to Albus Dumbledore, with thanks to Elton John's song, Candle in the Wind.)

This was a really good story. I enjoyed the way you told it with flashbacks. That last update was a perfect ending for the story, I'm so glad to see that they've settled down into a happy family now. I'll be looking forward to seeing more stories from you soon.

This is probably one of the finest stories I've seen posted in a while. I liked the way you made the characters believeable even if Cat was 'gifted'.

I thought you did a good job with Minerva and Phoebe each dealing with their own problems and trying to resolve issues of jealousy and rivalry even if it was unspoken.

Your Albus was pretty good too. He didn't seem to lose his masculinity nor did he take a long journey into his feminine side. There is only so much sensitivity I can take.

I would like to see what you did with the other story you've written. Alex

You will never leave where you are until you decide where you want to be

Wow !! I missed sooooooooo much during my stay in Italy ... But the good thing about it was that I got to read it all in one go ... ;D
That was a fantastic lemon !! And even though I'm sad Phoebe died I'm glad Min and Albus and their children could be a family ... I, too, would love to see a sequel about the twins !!
All in all it was a fantastic story that I enjoyed very much !!!

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your wonderful feedback. I tell myself that I write simply because I enjoy it... not for the feedback... but I can't deny that knowing other people are enjoying the story is very gratifying.

You're a great group and I'm glad to be a part of it!
