So I already told you via fervent texting how you made me cry three times while at the baseball field, and how I had to stop reading and actually pull myself together. I just didn't tell you why exactly.
This is EXACTLY was I was hoping for in a Bobby pre series fic. You have captured the kind of love that I was sure that Bobby and his wife had and even threw in extras that had never occured to me, like his post traumatic stress from Vietnam, and the rocky times that they shouldered together.
He felt the nightmare start to recede, it was over, he wasn’t over there any more, he was home, and he never had to go back to that god forsaken country ever again.
It took him a couple of minutes to realize that these thoughts weren’t in his head. This. YES.
I hate that she was taken from him, but yet I am so happy that Bobby had someone in his life like this, even if it wasn't forever. While her death is what set Bobby on the path that eventually crossed with the Winchesters, it was because of her that Bobby is able to care and love them boys. *nods* That's my canon and I'm stickin' to it.
OMG and I love that we got a peek at the Weechesters and their first meeting with "Uncle Bobby".(And that it was in May.)
Random squee moments: Lilacs, hee, and use of the word idgit, FTW. And I don't know if you know this but hubby was born in Aug '68.
THANK YOU SO MUCH HON!!! WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS AND YOU FOR WRITING IT FOR ME!!
THANK YOU!!
