God this is beautiful and so so sad. Which isn't usually my vibe, but this is just done so well. Thank you for sharing!
Bittersweet end! Painfully beautiful. I love that they got that much time together and the idea of their intermingled ash.
The guy is a survivor. I felt very much in step with what he was feeling in these bittersweet moments of clarity. This was a great read, thank you. I would be interested in reading a one-shot that showed snippets of his life during the winter month.
Wonderful story. I love all of it. Poor Spike didn't have a good time of it, especially during the summer, did he? But it looks like things got better. It eventually had to end, but he got plenty of summers spent with his golden girl. The end made me tear up, but it was beautiful.
