very beautiful - how glad I am to have your story just now - as I am doing my yearly Dia de los Muertos altar, I will have your story and your love and memories in my mind. Candle for you soul - I just love this . You have such a wonderful use of words, they read like poetry and brush strokes on a canvas made for painting words.

I can't believe I haven't read this sooner. Absolutely hauntingly beautiful. Spike's reactions seem very believable to me. I only wish Buffy ahd been alive to see it. LOL.

Wow! You really have a way with words, Niamh. I've always enjoyed your fics and this was no exception...
Well, I might be strange in saying that I enjoyed the fic when I ended up crying my eyes out... especially for the first three chapters. But grief is such a strong emotion and when it resurfaces there's no way to hold the floodgates shut.
Thank you for this wonderful (and a bit painful) story.

*sniff* This is very sad. But very good written, don't get me wrong. I wish I had words to express myself better but I haven't. Very moving. *hugs you* I'm sorry for your loss.

How incredibley poignant. The way you traced his steps and actions while narrating his thoughts, it made you really feel like you were right there with him as he made his sojourn to her grave every night.
"It was those memories that had started his ritual – the dead honoring the dead. How the ritual of prayer and candle eased his mother’s pain." - I loved, loved this. It made me feel that while Spike is vampire, it is the man that is in mourning - mouring and in love and honoring her the way a human would while grieving.
I love it. So much depth of feeling it is almost too bad it is going to be a short fic. However, with such styling it will definitely make for a memorable fic. I can't wait for another update!
Cheers,
Nina

Oh Nia..*wipes tears* you write so well and so fierce. The emotion from this chapter..hurts. It hurts the heart. Brings up so many things. Goddess Bless every soul that gave this story life. Spike's tournment makes me want to hug him and cry with him. Oh wow that power fuckn shit hun. I need more tissues now because I can't see the screen to type.
I hope everyone who reads this story goes the memorial page and signs that petition. I know my name is on it and many others need to be. Those souls need their candle to be lit for them.
