Gavin, MistySakura, both you guys... thank you so much. You dont realise how encouraging it is to hear you say that. I didn't think it was that strong, I didn't realise how strongly i put this through - but I guess, from hearing what you guys had to say about it, it came thorugh more powerful than I had hoped. Which is awesome and something to praise God for.
I think it came across so real because when I was writing it, i found myself being placed in the shoes of Ami. And I found myself being in the story, the story was about me with the name Ami. And because I've experienced a lot of what the story deals with (but to a much lesser extent), I was writing not from my mind, but from my heart? I dont know... But I found myself crying when I wrote it, crying because I had the first part in my head, being played as if it were a memory of me and my best friend. Although he is still alive, I had it playing in my head as a memory that he died - and I couldn't handle it. It was so hard for me to write after that...
But your comments really really are encouraging. Thank you so much for it. Each comment, has left me breathless. I sat here at the computer, gasping for air for a good minute before i could even reply. Writing this reply has been really hard too, just to try and express all my emotions..
This is something to praise God for. Totally.
