So there it is. The end. Happy enough for you, I hope. It's been a long time coming. I started the original version of this story in 2007. It gives me a warm feeling to know it's finished. I'm sorry it took so long.
Thank you for all you're wonderful reviews and replies. One of my favorite parts of this was hearing your thoughts and reactions, especially what you thought was going to happen next. I loved every minute of it. I loved getting to know you. I hope to hear from you one more time.
