"Grace and Lawrence sat with their Father, who was not expected to last the night."

"Baron was there as well. The King had been like a Father to him.
And he wanted to be there for his friends"

"Grace was heart broken...."

"Her Father was the only parent she had even known."

"Her Father took her hand.....
'You have been the joy of my life' "

"She leaned in close.."

'I don't know what I'm going to do without you....'

"...and she kissed him..."

'I love you Papa...'

Just for a split second I was afraid you were saying goodbye. What a wonderfully emotional story and pictures. Peaceful and dignified, surrounded by loving friends and family.

Sorry for the confusion. It's just that I need a title for each segment, and it seemed very appropriate.

Thank you. I personally love this series of photo - including tomorrow's, and the day after. After we get through this section, we'll be back to more lighthearted stuff.

Are they going to have mourning dresses?

No, because it's not really important to the story being told. I'm just going to skip right to the official coronation.

Beautiful, emotional, wonderful. My eyes filled with tears as they said their farewells.

Like Donna, I was a bit teary eyed.

There is something magical about this story. Well, it's kind of about magic but the story line is so incredible.

At first I saw this as a storybook for grown ups, now I see this as a fairytale on the TV or movie screen. I can "feel" the emotions of the characters. I forget that they are dolls as I am drawn into their story.

I think this story took place hundreds of years ago in some realm of the cosmos and it has come forward now for you to tell it to us. I know you are making it up but it feels so real!

Thank you so much.

Like I said many times before, this story seemed to take on a mind of its own, with new scenes to photograph constantly popping into my head. I hoped to capture the emotions of what was going on, and often felt that I had succeeded, at least for myself personally, and I'm glad others are finding it as well.

I did often feel like I was shooting a movie, with many of the scenes totally out of order, to be edited together afterwards into one cohesive story with everything becoming clear by the end. I still have many scenes left to shoot, including a major one for two days hence. I've been struggling with it for weeks, but need to finally get it done in order to proceed - so I don't have to call an 'intermission'.
