Love your Joyce - even if you gave her to us for such a short time - lovely ending for her. 

You wrote the essence of a loved one's passing.  We all would rather have them be there than all the sanctimonious praises and eulogies. 

Very nice the way you've captured Buffy's thoughts and feelings now that the reality of her mother's death are sinking in.

that's perfect...that's exactly how spike would have handled it if buffy or anyone at that time had given him the chance to be there for her...very touching scene...loved it :)

sorry, started to leave a comment but was interrupted by a papillon, who decided it was play time. back to comments. love the story. wouldn't be upset hearing more of joyce's comments even if there are only in buffy's mind. thanks for the update

Short chapter, but nice move along for the story. Look forward to more.

oh yeah the wisdom of Joyce

Lovely words from Joyce.

Lovely -
