She came to take her farewell. It was the only place she knew that she could… but she knew he wasn’t there.

I love to write. A dreamer, a creator and filled with wonder, imagination and life. Sometimes I get lost in the other worlds I've read and in some I create. It's all good, I’m in good company.

Thank you very much, doll. Hugs~
Wow, that was a powerful piece, beaweasley. And the ending, I loved it. So beautiful. I like how you kept it vague to let the reader use their imagination. Amazing. Thank you for thinking about me. It has been an unusual time, to say the least. It certainly isn't what I'd ever have imagined. It is nice to know that there are friends like you who keep me in mind.

You are very welcome. I'm so glad that you like yor gift, (I suck at sympathy cards) and wanted to give you something with hope in it. Something positive - a promise at the end.My prayers and thoughts are with you, and yes, you have friends here for you. Hugs~
I like that there is hope at the end. Maybe he's not dead after all. Or maybe it was just the wind.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of Taking Farewell)
Yes, I wanted it to end on a note of hope. No it was him, ghosts don't have shadows nor do leaves stop against them then flutter off. lol Disillusioned.Thank you so much for the reveiw and the shiny stars.
Beautifully written! Okay, I'm an emotional mess now! LOL! Thanks for that!

A beautiful story and a compassionate gift. I offer my belief that her loved one is on a journey of light.

Was he there?
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of Taking Farewell)
Yes, sitting on the rock where Harry had cried. Then he walked up to where she had been standing after she left.
Beautifully written, *Sniffs*

Really lovely. He's the most tragic character ever, because not one nice thing happens within his actual lifetime. He never lives to see himself respected. It's nice to see him witness it in this fic. And actually, I think it's technically possible in canon that he didn't die. Lovely work.
Author's Response: Actully, Disillusioned was my intent: the shadow shifting, the sound of his boots as he walked, the shinner, the leaf landing against his body, the light bending... so in this story he does see the respect given to him even if everyone thinks he's dead.
Thank you very much for the review and the shiny stars.
alliean's response: Oh yes, that's what I meant really. I didn't phrase it right, I know he is Disillusioned, not dead. 
That was beautiful and haunting.

Thank you very much, blue.
Bea, this is lovely and gave me hope that what we perceived as an ending isn't necessarily the case. Perhaps Severus will reveal himself to Hermione in time.It's such a lovely gift for Notsosaintly.Beth

Brayer, you never know. We can all hope - that's what I wanted anyway.Thank you for the review, doll. Hugs~

Response from beaweasley2 (Author of Taking Farewell)
You are most welcome. Thank you very much for reading and for the review.
One could infer from the ending that he is not dead. One could hope so, anyway.Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing.I'm not a part of the LJ family, so I didn't know that notsosaintly had a tragedy in her life. My heart goes out to her as well.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of Taking Farewell)
Yes, one could definately inferr that! I wnated it to end with a ray of hope. Thank you very much and you are most welcome.I heard about it through a friend, and just wanted to make her something - so the picture that I drew poped in my head and the drabble wrote itself after. Thank you for the review and the shiny stars.
