When I think of all that Leia has suffered, I immediately connect Han with the easing of her suffering, particularly after the nightmares.To realize he was no longer around to do that for her added an...

Sue, How beautifully haunting and poignant and real. You werevery brave to write this during your own personal loss and put so much realism into it. You captured elderly Leia's horror, distancing...

Hi Sue, I've read almost all of your work at your website and have enjoyed your pieces immensely, and this piece is no different. A very moving piece on a topic that unfortunately will happen to many...

Thank you so much! Yeah, after all the family and friends leave you to carry on with their own lives and the loneliness sets in, it's a very weird place to be. I appreciate your positive vibes!

Wow, I just read this and was very moved by it. The image of the dying planet appearing like colorful fireworks was really effective. Very powerful. Liz

Thank you very much for reading and commenting back! I got the idea of the fireworks from the first Death Star explosion and music used to highlight it, and then the second Death Star explosion in...

I'll jump in here too. I thought I had read this before, but I hadn't. Wow. I liked how short it was, that made it very powerful. I felt so sad for her, but the reminder of "it wasn't fireworks" kept...

Thank you! Yeah, short is generally what I do, so I try to make each word pack a punch. I appreciate your comments.

I think this is the first time I've reviewed something written so long ago, but after TFA, this piece is even more telling. Of course, when you wrote it, you no doubt envisaged them having spent many...

Thanks, mishka67. Having conversed with some veterans about this very thing recently, I would bet you are right.

I read this piece once but never reviewed...my oversighted mistake. Everything you wrote hits the perfect note of sadness at being left behind and being utterly alone. Leia's memories of Alderaan's...

I do remember that time after your husband passed, and I understand the core of grief which was the origin for this fic. It's great that you have an excellent support system in place now. As for...

Whoa. I just realized...the title of this forum is 2004 Archive. My husband died in 2005. So this was written BEFORE his death. I wouldn't have guessed that rereading the fic now. Interesting.
View ArticleRe: "It Wasn't Fireworks"
Sue - a slip of the finger. It actually does belong in 2005 - I probably just hit the wrong one in the dropdown list when moving things around before. I'll fix that now.
View ArticleRe: "It Wasn't Fireworks"
Rereading the first page of the thread, I see that I DID write if before my husband died, then posted it a month after he passed away. The tone of it sure seems AFTER, though.
