Wow, I stayed up half the night just so that I could read the entire fic. I thought that it was incredibly well written. I had a relative who died of a malignant brain tumor last year, and reading this story was like reading about my family's experiences. You portrayl of the anger, guilt, grief and sense of powerlessness that everyone experienced was incredibly accurate, as well as the way Rossi's "family" drew together to share their strength and their pain. I don't think I've cried as much as I did reading this last night since that time. You handled a heartwrenching topic beautifully; this was truly a job well done. While I can't say I truly enjoyed this story, I certainly couldn't stop reading, and I don't think any story have ever drawn such an honest emotional reaction from me. Thank you.
