Steph, I'm so sorry. I loved all the stories about Chloe.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I'm so sorry, Tep.

Steph, it's hard to not feel guilty, but know you have done nothing worthy of guilt. That will come with time.It's a painfully hard decision, and no matter whether it is the first or the umpth time, it's still really fucking hard.

That's such a Jillimom perfect thing. She's making you sure to get to the Haunted Mansion soon.And you can cry and crack bad jokes and laugh and be in a favorite place.
Disneyland was her favorite place in the world, so it makes perfect, if weird sense.
Do you think she'd be ok with scattering a pinch there and the rest elsewhere? I think that would be (in a practical, logistical sense) more doable.
I'm pretty sure she'd be okay with that. Dad and I need to talk about logistics, but that makes sense. When Pete is done with this current deadline, I'm going to have him design my next tattoo. Something based off the faces from the Haunted Mansion wallpaper, my mom's name, and the dates.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds lovely, Jilli.
I'm sorry, Steph.

Oh, Steph, I'm sorry. But despite your guilt, you did right: you knew when it was time, and you took action to prevent her being in any more pain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jilli, that's so perfect.
Steph, being grownup hurts, and running from it sometimes (when no one else suffers for it) is perfectly reasonable behaviour.
