It has been a long and interesting - and painful at times due to real life - tale, and I have to say that it is a bitter sweet moment reading this. This has been an amazing story, sometimes I went back to the beginning and read up to the latest chapter and saw new things that somehow I had missed.
Had hoped Harry was wrong, but as you said, he passed in peace, with his loved ones around him.
Thanks for this, and I hope you and your Muses are up to more stories in the future.

Hello, chanewt.
Yes, it has. I have to say, this has been the most interesting and at times frustrating thing I’ve ever done, (and that includes being a widowed dad. Raising a child is HAAARRRD!) but I enjoyed (almost) every moment.
In my opinion, re-reading a story is what takes it from good, to great…and you’;re right. Things one might have missed the first go-through, make themselves known on subsequent readings.
For you, and those who’ve re-read, I thank you. For those of you on their first time ‘round…I thank you.
The decision for Harry was hard to make, but I didn’t want him to become another Yoda. “Too long has he lived, mmmm?” This way he goes out on his own terms.
Thanks again.
