A tribute to @bebepac...
My apologies for the commenting delay. These days my mind has become easily distracted and I lose track of everything else...
It was my great pleasure to read your tribute series for your muse. It has caused a lot of self-reflecting, but most definitely in a positive way. This series has great significance to you, and I wanted to comment in the most poetic way I could... but loss takes me to a zone of speechlessness, so I just wanted to create a little bit more to show my appreciation of the beauty Cheslie has brought to your writing.
When it comes to personal emotion evolving into fics, it's almost impossible for one to not feel what you must have felt when creating. I appreciate the gravity that came along with the abrupt ending of the life of your creative muse and didn't want to offend with unintended callous wording. You know my overly southern tendency to over apologize, lol. It doesn't signify ill intention, but due respect which means a lot to me if no one else.
Thank you for sharing such a private and sensitive struggle, and may the positive memories remaining of her fuel your writing passion for more series to come.
The gif... just to remember the smiles and joy that she brought to the world... Her final moment isn't her defining moment. It also plays to your Riley's trip to New York with Liam.
The wedding photo... I can't imagine a better moment of reflection for Riley and Liam than to take a pause and appreciate their journey to this moment.
The cartoon pics ... I can't imagine that they wouldn't have commemorated their trip with a couple of oil paintings., freeze-dried bouquets Liam bought on their walks, and many more memorandums not excluding Lady Liberty, lol.
I hope that these bring a smile to your face, minus any sadness.
