Oh my gosh! What a beautifully written tale that ties in so well with the episode and yet fits perfectly in the modern day. Your descriptions were heartfelt and gut-wrenching at times. I feel this might have been cathartic to write in some way. Thank you seems inadequate.
What a backdrop to re-write A Stranger Passed this Way. Kudos for taking the chance to write of such a horrific day, and bringing hope back to the Ponderosa.
This is an extremely well written story but I must admit, in places it’s very difficult to deal with. The real bits, the 9/11 parts, they are so real, so true to that awful day. This is my second time reading it and its worth reading multiple times. It all fits together perfectly and ties in with the original episode.
