I personally don't think anything needs to be added to it. smile

Yes, it is very short, but so were the earlier segments of the series. To me, it's very in keeping with the tone of the first two parts, in that they all show us mere glimpses of time. There were many details left unsaid in the first two stories, as well, but I thought that added to their poetry. We were able to fill in the blanks without having it all laid out before us, and I think that made the entire series that much more poignant.

Thanks for the happy ending, Annie! I normally don't like to read about Clark missing the early years of his child's life, but I think the point is well made that he won't be missing any more big moments after this. I think he's clearly identified his priorities from now on, and he will never take this portion of his life for granted. smile

Beautiful. smile
