Author’s Notes: The parallel comment that scfrankles wrote in the discussion board got me thinking and I worked with that for my 60.


You’ve seen what I have seen and walked where I have walked.
We’ve broken bread at the same table and know each other’s faults.
Together, we’ve shared our passions and experiences with despair.
Our work takes us into the depths of pain and suffering.
We’ve shared a past most others would not welcome but made bearable because of each other.

A friendship eloquently described:-)

Very nice sentiment! Especially the final line.

I like the way you've used the parallels, and summed up both sets of lives.

Beautifully done - they were very lucky to have found each other.

And it all goes to emphasise the sheer poignancy in BLAN of Watson being absent - Holmes truly needs him there.

Aw! Thank you :)

Thanks!

Hehe, I should have added something like that in my author's notes. Whoops. I also realized this could be used to summarizing more than just their lives...

They were and completely agreed. Holmes needs his Watson.
