Review: Courageous, gracious and dignified, spoilers

**spoiler alert** This was great. I mean, thank you JCP because it takes courage to write something like that, something so intense and dignified, warming and chilling at the same time. It's a story that has to end this way to respect the characters, especially Eddie, the protagonist, who's in a hospice waiting to die. It would have been good to wrap everything in a pink bubble and grant everyone their wishes, but it would have been unimpressive and, I feel, false. Since we also have a big piece of Chance in this installment, it was interesting to see him out of his depth, almost unbalanced. It was moving, and sad, but it wasn't hopeless. It was gracious. And dignified, again. It was about choices, and acceptance. Eddie is one of the most decent characters I've ever read and it might sound crazy, I think I'm mourning him with this review. It made an emotional mess of me.
