It has been a whole half a day since I fainted from part 18.

Ditto. You can't have us go through the weekend with such a sad part...

I just finished the whole Martha and Evan part. Wonderful. How will Clark turn around in time. I will be biting my nails until we get part 21 and the long epilogue. Remind me not to read Corrina's stories until she has finished posting all parts! Laura

Well it is over. What a wonderful job Corrina has done! I will miss this story and all the chatter about it and around it. Thank you all the support group for voicing your feelings along with mine about Corrina's amazing story. Corrina, you outdid yourself. Fantastic job. You should do this kind of thing for a living. All the best and thanks again. Laura

It is my suggestion to all who are in this support group that we all take double the usual dosage of anti-craving meds and learn to sit in a chair and keep our hands off the computer. If we turn the computer on, we must clear all our incoming mail, read all the current facebook, read every story published on the boards, and then if we are still craving a Corrina story, we go back to the short stories she wrote and re-read them 3 times each before we take on a new Corrina story. I NEVER want to be this addicted again! (Unless Corrina has a new story on next week.)

LOL thanks anyway, I am a Lois only girl, but if the story was about a Laura instead of a Lori well maybe...

A warm and fuzzy ending to an amazing saga. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now that it's over! Corrina has earned a break from writing ... but I sure hope she has something simmering already because I'm going to be in withdrawal until she posts again.  Kathy

Where's the "like" button for Kathy's above post?  /also gently nudges Corrina towards writing another story...  /
Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.

Some habits are easier to break than others. This one is man-of-steel hard to leave. Having said that, I want to confess that I have re-read the whole thing. It took forever...the best forever I've had in a long time. We know that Corrina is a wonderful writer, but I think unless you re-read this one, you miss the richness of the complex nature of this story. I had forgotten how broken Lois was and how hard she fought to keep her outer-layer hiding the true nature of her brokeness. We miss that Clark, true to his canon nature, had a soft core that was selfless and would do anything for those he loved. And the reserves both of them had to dip into and say the right thing when they needed to do it is not obvious unless you sit for hours of days and soak this one into your system. We wanted a happy-ever-after, but to get there was a lot of logical work on Corrina's part.
Corrina, this was a true masterpiece. I have begun to wean myself by pulling out some of my favorite stories from years ago. I want to stop and roost here, but I need to get a life and break a few bad habits. Thank you so much for not taking the easy path and putting together a short & sweet story. This one ended where we wanted it to, but the path you took guided us to so many places we were not expecting, but needed to visit.
