NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's not how I want it to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But of course ... like my very favourite book and film - Gone With the Wind - this is exactly how it must be.

Still, after watching GWTW probably 2 dozen times, I still pray for a different ending. How silly is that?!

Oh, my. Just 15 years till that beauty will be 100 years old!!!!!!!!!!! Gasp!

Thank you for another exquisite story, Arpad! Brilliant writing, as always!
