Darrin,
A list for me. You made a list just for me. I was starting to think I 
was the only one hopelessly caught up in this story and having a hard 
time pulling myself back to reality. 

My tear-jerking moment came when Luna and Harry had their talk. I 
hadn't cried about Sirius. It was too abrupt and too hard to believe 
but when Luna said they were all behind the veil, that you could hear 
them whispering, it reminded me of the weeks after my father's death. 
How thin I felt the veil between this world and the next was.  How I 
felt he was with me and while it was excruciating, I would do 
anything to feel that feeling again. Harry must have been trying to 
cope with how to let Sirius go and Luna was able to help him by 
letting him know it would be okay, that no matter what they are over 
their waiting for us.
Oh well, the tears flow again.
