So happy I got tagged to read this wonderful story. Fantastic! Somehow it resonates with something I was reading the other day, about the moment when the universe was just one big mass, before things were separated, before souls were separated... I believe the knowledge you have loved someone so much, not matter how long, is one of the most precious things in this earthly life. It means you have truly lived!
Sorry I did not get to read this earlier, real life keeps getting in the way.
