This was a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing it. I was delighted and tearful by the end of it. It's 8 years later and I only hope you are still getting the reviews for ti.

Very, very sweet.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this story. I usually wait to read fics until they are finished as I don't have the patience to wait for updates. The chapters with deaths just brought me to tears especially the last chappy and epilogue. But I think my favorite part were the interactions between our favorite couple, the loving teasing, the love, and even the anger seemed real. So thank you for writing this.

Blessings

OH it was sad when he died, but I liked how you had her die a few days later, and the end with the horses, and Buffy and Spike from years ago riding off to be together at the cabin.

I hope they do get the book done and her journal was a good idea.

It was a happy and sad story.

I loved it.

My mistake. You, of course have loads of reviews. In my defense whenever I looked up I happened to be at a chapter in which there were none.
Anyway, moving on. I really liked this story, altough I found the jumping about in the last few chapters a bit strange. Especially the two that are back to front. In one Rupert is already dead and in the next he dies. Bit confusing, but no big deal.
Here's another thing, even though we all know these characters, you do exposition so well that if you changed the names, you could sell this on the open market.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your interest in my little drama. I missed my faux pas about Rupert! I have to admit, I've thought about publishing this before using other characters as this is somewhat based on my mother's family history. My mother is elderly and is very proud of her family (for the most part! LOL!) I originally posted this story on BS Central without benefit of spell check or beta and was not particularly happy with it. I did like the input I got from both sites and am very happy and proud of this story. Thank you again, spuf

Wow, this story is gorgeous. I love how you made everyone out to have wonderful, unique personalities and character traits.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm always delighted to receive another positive review of this finished fiction. It was truly a labor of love for me! Thank you again, I treasure your kind words. spuf

Spufette, Your story was excellent, it brought tears to my eyes. The remembrances of the past and passion of two people that you set down in print will always be a favorite of mine. You stated that the story in part is of your own family and you should be proud of your families contribution to the west. You are a wonderful writer and a great American.

Author's Response: Thank you so much. Your review brought tears to my eyes! I am very proud of my family, both sides, especially the females on my mom's side. Again, thank you. Luv, Spuf

This was truly the best story that I have read in a long time-A very sad ending, It had me in tears, I thought that the way you decided to write the story covering the varous generations over the years was a good choice, It made it much more interesting that way

Author's Response: Thank you very much. I really liked that ending, maybe the best of any fics I've written! Luv, Spuf

It's sad to see the story comes to the end. I love this AU you created so much!

Author's Response: Thank you, that means alot to me. Luv, Spuf
