Oh, this is gorgeously written. There are a couple of grammatical errors (it's the commas; they're the kiss of death, or something close enough) and a few words/sentences that jar the sound/atmosphere that the rest of the piece creates (the word nonetheless completely kills the last sentence), but I'll strangle my inner editor into silence (well, sort-of silence) for this one because I'm thinking a few out-of-place commas don't matter in the long run for this piece. (You didn't, I assume, post it so we could pick apart the sentence structure.) Like Snoink, I don't think the emotional oomph has quite carried across, but it's a lovely piece of word candy, which is enough. Good stuff.

(And if the distance between the two of you is wide enough, I do sort of think you should send it. Because, if he's not the kind of person to flout the letter, the potential gain outweighs the potential loss. And, if nothing else — well, it's a very pretty letter.)

I really loved it. I loved the imagery in the words. I didn't really like some of the parts about the angels at the end though, i didn't think all fit. I loved this line about angels though.

I hear them sometimes; they comfort me, when thoughts and memories of you do not.


I didn't like this line so much though.
Do you hear the angels whispering? I hear them sometimes


Overall i loved this piece if writing, i really felt your words. :)

Thanks Snoink :)

Send it to him? No way, he'd never understand. Oh well...

Oh dear...

I feel like I'm getting more apathetic each day. This hardly did anything for me. :(

But still...

Why don't you send it to him anyway, just for kicks? Who knows what could happen...

Hi there,

That line doesn't work somehow, but the rest.......was awesome!!! I really like the imagery, and it didn't seem cliche to me like most stories like this do. Interesting... :D Its a very grown-up piece of work.... :wink: lol....

Good job 8)
