Well. Aside from my extreme disappointment that the story is over...
What a wonderful, satisfying ending, including Jake's little glimpse into the frustration of Superman's world and the... er... more
human aspects of Clark's.

Talk about catharsis. It's wonderful to know Jake ends up at peace with himself and with his children. I enjoyed your final paragraphs; they weren't an ending as much as a direction, pointing us towards a happier future for Jake's family.
This one was really special, Diane. Thanks for sharing.
