You know the reason why you are alive ...

when
- you read a beautiful story by a friend that reduces you to tears and later makes you highly envious
- you hold the head of a beloved pet and just cuddle him while he gets the stitches removed in his behind and you shed every tear possible because he is so brave and trusting
- you are happy to have finished a job not only well but bloody brilliant
- you spent two hours freezing your butt off at a cemetary with your vet assistant and the help trying to find a little pup and find a new friend.

I could continue this list but these were the high lights of today. Even though the snow didn't last, it was a good day.

E>TA: Just one more month till Christmas :)

I have a faint inkling who could mean by that ;) and let me tell you, I am very, VERY touched by your compliment. This story would never have come into being if you hadn't led me to the source. Thank you!

All I did was giving you the visual incentive. The words, the story was already inside you and you would have written it sooner or later.

Honestly, your writing has become trully wonderful over the last five to six years. Now your writing skill as well as your experience come together to create a story that touches the heart's of the readers as well as sticks in their minds for a long time.
There were a couple of spelling and time mistakes but apart from that, the story is perfectly paced and written. Remove the name SMAP and you could easily submit it for an anthology in the Western world.

Dammit, did I really miss out on some of the typos and times? Some of the fragments were in past tense, I thought I'd changed them all. How embarrassing! I'm usually so anal about those things! *schäm*
