I am so very happy to hear everything is working out with your dad. I was not so fortunate myself when my dad went through chemo, radiation and transplants so I'm happy to hear you were spared.

I adored your chapter as always. Nice bluff with the not fighting and nice to hear about Joyce; I hate the way she was cut from the show. I guess we are nearing the end of this story and hope you will write many more.

Author's Response: Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm so sorry you, your dad and your family had to go through all that. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been. And thank you for the kind words about the chapter, too. I missed Joyce so much. Just had to make sure her presence was felt here. :-)

Very nice. Buffy and Spike can be very stubborn people individually, but put them on the same team and there's no budging them! I wonder how long they've been gone.....

Author's Response: Thank you! And, yes, together they definitely are a force to be reckoned with. Heh.
