They say the pain of losing a child is the hardest thing someone could possibly go through. That once bright, toothless smile now a memory behind someone’s eyes.
The memory of the first word they spoke, or the first tooth they lost. The possibility of what they would grow up to accomplish, or what they would become—it disappeared like a fleeting shadow. The thought, or image, of your child becoming something great and the memories of their firsts only led to an end. A heart-wrenching end you had to bear as if the child was your own.
You blew me away, I was honestly not expecting a story like this.
First of all, you chose a rather difficult topic, but you represented it in a very delicate way and with all due respect. I know exactly what it’s like working with sick children, I have done volunteer work at a pediatric hospital myself and I know how horrible it is to hear terrible news every day.
At first we see a relationship that could have been everything, something that had so much potential but at the same time had a destructive touch. What is love without a little pain? I fell in love with Yoongi and oc’s relationship, they were so cute. Feeling that you are not enough for someone is one of the worst feelings and it makes you feel horrible, it is a pity that everything they had built collapsed because of that.
It made me happy to see that oc was able to continue with her life and be successful, although with that bitterness of not having the love of her life with her. But since the world is full of second chances, it was only fair that they meet again. I still find it difficult to decide if maybe it wasn’t the right time to enter the life of each other because I also think that IT WAS in some way. I thought Yoongi might have had some change after spending so many years away from her, but it seems that life was not fair with him.
It’s a big responsibility to have to barely take care of your life when you have a sick child, I think he could’ve done things better, but hey, maybe it was his destiny to go through that pain to become someone better, to love himself and have the opportunity to love someone else.
I’m in love with the way you wrote Yoongi’s pain, I just can’t imagine it. I was so happy to see that they were finally together and ready to give it all again and then thathappens and everything is so… painful. But then I agreed with the decision they both made, it was the best that they were apart for a while to heal all those wounds and prepare for the life they will have together now.
I really want to say a lot more about this story but I don’t want to leave spoilers because everyone deserves to read it, it’s so worth it
Thanks for your writing, this story was so painfully beautiful and i loved it so much. Lots of love
