DJ!

You know I love this story. You're absolutely right - there are so many moments in the series where we're missing scenes or were cheated out of seeing what happened or how the characters felt. You did such a masterful job of showing us Clark's grief.

The most poignantly written part for me was this:
Quote
He hadn’t even been given the chance to hold her in his arms one last time – to say goodbye.
Not saying goodbye, not getting one last chance to say *anything* is one of hollowest, emptiest, please-just-five-more-minutes feelings in the world. It sucks. It's something you never get over, not really.

I cried along with Clark when I read this. It might sound weird to thank you for that, but...

Thank you. This was heartbreakingly beautiful.

Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.

Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.
