    No fair making me cry. That was so beautiful: Han standing to give away his daughter.

    She smiled. ?Well, okay, we?ll live as five.?
    [face_laugh]

    ?Ahem.? Wedge attempted to regain a semblance of control over the proceedings. ?The ceremony is not finished, just yet.?
    [face_laugh]

    Enough comic relief so I don't cry my eyes out. Well that was until I read the last part:

    ?In many ways, Leia, they are the best of us.?

    The best thing I've read here, ever.

    Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!

    And I truly hope you do a sequal. You are a J/J artist and everything you write will be a wonder to read.

    But you know, if you're not doing anything big for a while you could always write a short piece about Lando & Tendra adopting a baby, or going to adopt a baby but getting another child instead who needs them more.[face_thinking] I'm just saying.:D

    I realize that. It's the ones who ask you for help and expect you to go so far as to peel grapes for them, but whenever you ask them for help they bite your head off. :mad:

    And yes, oldj, all men should strive to be Jag ;)

    Somehow, I figured you would cry over Han. I tried not to go too far into heavy-duty tear-jerker mode.

    ?In many ways, Leia, they are the best of us.?
    The best thing I've read here, ever. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!


    Aw, thanks, friend Lola. I particularly like that sentence, and sentiment, as well.

    A sequel is a pretty good bet, but I need to break from this for a while and decide exactly where to take it.

    Lando and Tendra viggies, huh? Don't see many of those, do we? Very nice idea.

    Thank you so much for being so faithful. [:D]



    Zetta:

    I'm happy that you're happy. We have too much angst and unhappiness elsewhere, don't you think?

    Thank you, too, for being a wonderful reader.



    BF:

    I know what you mean - its certainly not every man, just a select bunch.

    Besides, I can vouch for skywalker64089. He's operating in the light.

    :D [:D] [:D]

    O wow............................

    *sigh* J/J...so much has happened between the beginning and end of this fic! WHOO! I love it!

    WHOA!

    O man, Mr. Howie Day came on my itunes randomly just now, posting on the seminal J/J story...Howie Day is very J/Jish.

    Anyway, I love this piece and i am going to go back and read again.

    I love the level of commitment everybody brings in this fic. It's amazing.

    *sigh* Life should be this good.


    LOVE FOR THIS PIECE AND LOVE FOR YOU NJO!!!

    Congratulations on 1000!!!!

    Good thing the GFFA doesn't blame Wedge. I felt sorry for him when he asked the girl how old she was. I could see him feel his age.

    Aww, the scene with Wedge's kids and sister is so sweet!!! *grabs tissue*

    The bit with Lando and Tendra was sweet :) I'm glad she's not mad. I completely forgot about Lando . . . and they're going to adopt a baby!! That's wonderful :)

    Soonitr bring several hankerchiefs = [face_laugh]

    Ossus, interesting house choice. But it's god that they'll all be near each other :)

    I think the sweetest part of the post was Han giving Jaina away. Hopefully he'll eventually make a good recovery and be able to walk and talk again *cries* and Jag hugged Han!!! *cries more* *runs to Target for more tissues because she's run out*

    The vows were very sweet :)

    I love the way you tied in the title.

    This is a wonderful story, and . . . and . . . and I'm no good at making speeches, can't even pull and A in that particular class, but you've taken a wonderful journey with this story, and I'm glad I've been able to witness it. I'm so proud of you!! [:D] [:D] [:D] *cries some more*

    Yay for Lando and Tendra! [face_love]

    Now, it's not often that something is so sweet that it makes me cry, but I'm crying right now. The scene with Han walking Jaina down the aisle was just so sweet! *goes and bawls in corner*

    What a fabulous ending! Can't wait for the epilogue.

    [face_laugh]

    Good to know she didn't loose her sense of humor...

    I laughed and I cryed, what else can I say?

    I've been lurking on this fic, but I want to stop by and say that you've done an awesome job with this fic. It's so refreshing to read a story that has more than straight up romance, one that is filled with moral dilemmas, family conflict, and politics.

    Being an on again, off again J/J shipper, I definitely [face_love] the romance between Jaina and Jag. It's nice to see that both of them can stand up for themselves, and even better, when they stand up together.

    What a great conclusion. :)

    Thanks, RebelMom. Han is a strong man, in my book. [:D]



    Hi, Inara! Thanks for de-lurking - your comments are truly appreciated. I'm so glad you've enjoyed this. I tried to add different layers, to avoid making it a one-note song. Thanks again for helping me believe that my efforts were a bit successful. [:D]

    (especially the J/J'ers and Han-o-philes).[face_laugh] I think I apply on both counts. Hehe, Han-o-philes.

    ?Tendra?? His mouth was dry, his voice raspy. ?I love you.

    And you will be an amazing mother.?
    I've always hoped they would have kids. :)

    Awww, that's such a wonderful thing Han did!

    [face_love] That was so beautiful! Lovely ending!

    You like Han-o-philes? Ha! Me, too!

    I think Lando and Tendra are overlooked a lot. And they should have kids. Can you imagine Lando trying to deal with a screaming two-year-old?

    Han. [face_love]

    Thanks for reading. I appreciate all your feedback and am truly happy you've enjoyed this. [:D]



    Aw, thank you! The Epilogue should be up within before this weekend is over.[:D]
