Fucking hell, I had to stop every so often to wipe away the tears so I could read. I was reluctant to read this part because I didn't know if JD was going to start to...well, not get over it, but realize that he had to keep going. If JD had ended up completely inconsolable, this would've been much harder than this already was to read. (I incidentally now love Turk even more than before.) An amazing read the two of you have got, here. I've never had someone really close to me die of cancer or some other incurable disease, and I think this is as close as I can get to feeling that much pain without anyone I know actually dying.

God, at least I didn't finish however much there is of Changling before I read this...I'll need other JD/Cox fic and maybe watching the actual show to detox.

Again, amazing read.
