Wow that speech at the end... it was beautiful, it was warm, loving, so deeply tragic... but very beautiful and so very powerful. i didn't think any ending would be able to eclipse that amazing touching story but... Wow...
My Palpal was like that to. When you lose someone like that, the center of your world, your life shatters around you and the wounds never heal. My Palpal was every thing to me and I hope that anyone with a person in there life that gives everything for them keeps that love with them forever. Don't ever let that person in your life go unnoticed because one day they won't be there no matter how much they want to be.
I know how it feels when a grandparent dies. I don't think it's something that ever gets easy. I probably took my grandmother's death well. But you were there for your grandfather. When my grandmother died, I wasn't. She was in New York while I was in California. I couldn't make it to the family gathering before the car crash. I know it's not my fault. But even now, it bothers me that I wasn't there to see her one last time. One night, for no apparent reason, I started thinking about her. I needed a way to get my feelings out. I would've talked with my mother, but it was the middle of the night and she was asleep. So what I did was I wrote a letter. I wrote a letter to my grandmother. I like to think that she saw me writing that letter. My grandmother was a big part in my life growing up. She basically helped to raise me. Damnit Scribbler! You got me crying now. And that's not an easy feat.
This video didn't make me cry but your story did. Don't know why. Just reading and thinking about losing my father or grandfather or mother/grandfather I just cry I don't like thinking about it.
I'm crying soo much right now, i can barely type. Not only a good telling of a tale, the death of your loved one reminds me of a similar loss. Thank you for expressing yourself in such a way, as to help me remember that important person. THANK YOU!
wow you really know how to touch a soul and i know i don't know you directly like i don't know a lot of people but my grandfather died near the beginning of the school year i felt like i couldn't go on like my life was over but a wise person told me not to morn over the death of others and to tell the story of the lost but never ever forget for if you do they will truly be gone so you admitting this is a sign of strength and that is the most wonderful thing to have so i admire your show of strength
I’m sorry for your loss Scribbler, May your grandfather Rest In Peace. Your narration is excellent as always,. Love the story. This reminds me of the book called “The Road”, by Cormic Mcarthy.
Your grandfather sounds like an amazing person! I hope you take comfort and pride in knowing that because he inspired your love of stories, he has, in a way, affected all our lives. And that's about 45,400 people only counting those who have subscribed to you!
Thank you very much for that fic. I unortunately can look into a mirror right now. Loosing a family member is never easy. My grampa did that a little bit more than a year before. The father of my uncle and the uncle of my mom followed him a few weeks after, but My grampas lost was by far the worst ;;( He fought for so long but the last ......fight was one he could not win. He fought against cancer so many times. This strengh in him, this ..... unbelievable attitude. I thanked him for that so many times. I wrote a little story about that in mlp style. It was so poorly written but it included my heart. He even was one of the few people who could rock me to sleep back when i was a little baby. I honored him with that silly little drawing. Time was a big companion during that time. I reallly feel for you and will pray for him today before bedtime. And I wish you some good times as well. There will always be a little Gargam in your heart and in your head.
I'm not even a brony and I'm tearing up. I lost my grandfather about 3 years ago but I still remember staring at his body while he lied there dead on the hospital table. Funny enough, he made a promise to me. He promised he'd always be there for me. It took me a bit to figure it out, but today I know what he meant.
I recently lost my mother to a car accident. A month ago today, to be exact. The last moment I spent with her we said 'I love you' and she told me to have a good day at school...and we shared a laugh. I'm so glad we had gotten over our differences before she passed.
I'm sorry about your loss. I lost my grandpa in 08 from cancer. He ended up in a coma and I saw him when he died. My family kept saying it was important to be there, but I still remember watching his life leave his body...I don't feel that's a good thing xD
very touching emotional story you've done so far scribbler.Probably one of the most emotional stories you've done this year so far!!!! =O .Anyways OMG i can definitely feel where your coming from on how you lost your grandfather girl .=( I remember in may of 2013 when i found out the real bad news from one of my cousins over on Facebook telling me the horrific news that my grandmother on my dad's side passed away from i think it was either a heart condition or like her lungs being filled up with fluid and dying from blood clots shortly after =/.It was a real huge fucking bitch to deal with ,even though it happened way out on the eastern part of the U.S and me living here in the westcoast side in NV of the U.S I really couldn't do much to do anything about it ,since it was like 5 years since i went out to go visit her and the rest of my family in New York for like a good 2 weeks when i had my vacation at the very first job i worked for at that time in my life .So you can imagine what ginormous ,and how much of a heavy burden of emotions i was going through at the time !!!=0. but fast-forward to like 2 years laters,luckily i gotten over it ,and even though she didn't take care of me that much along with my grandfather (which is still breathing at the age on 92 right now!)it still didn't mean the fact that i did still genuinely cared for them ,even if they were fucking extremely Christian based religious ppl that pretty much slapped me over the head with the bible every time i got out of line or said something smart or stupid ,but that was 90's kid bratty version of myself so i was still a kid and not a very mature 20's something year old adult like am now(plus my parents raised me more than they did so that's another reason i did what i did and acted out how i acted out back in the day).R.I.P To your grandfather Scribbler, i sure he was a great man girl ,and if your still feeling grievances towards his death, you just have to come to the realization that he is in a much better place hon .
this was amazing. and wonderful ending tale. my mom is going through some rough times in fact. and this just made me really glad i try my best to tell my mom i love her. and i pray that she will get the heart transplant very soon i hope. anyway i pray for your grangam, that he lives a good eternity in heaven.
my granddad past when I was 4 am 23 now and I cry still remember him. he past from a heart attack in front of me, I knew him as daddy not granddad. so when I think of marriage or farthers day I cry. he died July 3, say before his favorite holiday. he fought in ww2, just like you said he was my rock fought me fishing, puting a tent together, and other camping knowledge I use today. tho I didn't have long with my daddy I miss and love him for everything I do to day if it was not for him. I woulnt love art and rocks like I do today. love you daddy, miss you.
My papa. He died on Valentine's Day, of 2012. Every Valentine's Day I have hated since I heard he died. I knew eventually the lung cancer would catch him, but I didn't think it would be that fast. I never even got to say goodbye. I was not aloud to go inside his home that day. When I got home from school, I found out why. It was really hard on my entire family. My gramma had depression for months. My mom wouldn't stop listening to his favorite song. Me and my sister, for the first time in our lives, didn't fight for 3 days. We rarely ate or slept. I am crying now as a matter of fact. Someday, I will join him. As well as everybody else in my family I will someday lose. You are right, scribbler. Never take what you have for granted, because you don't know how much of that you have left.
I feel terrible because of all of this. I cried at this and many others fics, at your story and yet, when my grandfather died a year or two and half ago (I have no idea how can I forget things like that. I remember the season, but not the year) I cried only once on his funeral and never after. I moved on, he just isn't there. And sometimes when I remember that he died I feel bad. No because he died, but because I seem, even to myself to not care.
I have a theory. What if "What's Left" "End" and "Fade" are in the same time line and universe. What if in "End" instead of something bad happening to Twilight, she actually finds a way out or the locked door opens for Twilight to exit to a war. After Twilight finds her friends she attempts to protect them costing her life, thus "What's Left" and "Fade" start. It's a good theory if you think about it... Makes you wonder if all darkfic storys actually connect in some way or another. What do you think about my theory and I would like ObabScribler to see this and see what she thinks.
My grandpa or my mom's dad died of cancer since the early 1990's before I was born. I basically never saw him in my life. I've only a picture of him. It's all I can remember when he was a soldier during the vietnam war.
I regret the fact that I didn't understand Spanish sooner so I could understand my grandparents when I was young. . Being raised by grandparents, aunts, or uncles and being close to one's cousins has always been a sort of foreign concept for me since I was born and raised in a different country than my extended family. While my parents would speak English and Spanish at home, I only really learned English, so I grew up with a language barrier between my extended family and I. The times that we visited, I was reliant on translations from my older brother or my parents. Over time my cousins learned English in school, and their parents learned English through them. So I had less reason/stimulus to push to pick up Spanish organically during our Christmas trips to visit our family. Which upset my mom to no end. Which also maintained the language barrier between my grandparents and I since they only know Spanish. Spanish classes in high school helped wedge my current ability to speak broken and slow Spanish. I have a far better ear and eye for Spanish, than I do tongue or hands. Even then, I frequently have difficulty understanding native Spanish speakers due to them frequently speaking a mile a minute. Currently, one out of my four grandparents are still alive, and it feels like she's largely a stranger that shares part of a last name with me. (extended family apparently visited slightly more often during the gap when he was an only child, but apparently having three to four different languages being spoken around (my mom had Japanese friends around that time) you during the very early language development phase will make a kid NOT talk due to confusion). I kinda envy people that have a relationship with their grandparents like you do. I'm sorry for your loss. I would pay money to watch an animation of Red Riding Hood sharing the bus with John Wayne, on her way to take potatoes to her grandmother.
The feels. I loved this. I wish I could've meet my grandfather on my dads side. He fought in the Korean War and I hope he is in a better place. I also miss my grandpa on my moms side he died when I was 3 and my sister didn't meet him. Even though he didn't fight he was awesome.
im very sorry for your loss trust me I know how you feel I lost my mom when I was 8 years old and im only 12 right now it still hurts things will get better
It's hard to kill Apple Jack that's why and if you say she was a changeling why would the changeling have to pose as some pony else when most are already dead and if it was starving it would of attacked Apple bloom just like the one that attacks shining the night before . Apple Jack is pretty strong and smart she like Apple Bloom were hoping for survivors maybe she was hiding somewhere near by ....
your grandfather would be very proud of you right now :) allso will you be attending the great brittish brony convention here in manchester? its like BUCK but alot chepper ^^ tickets are only 60 quid ^^
Is there a part 2 and God bless your grandparents god let your grandfather be blessed what is your real name and his because I go to church and I want to tell the preacher so we can pray for you and your grandpa and your grandma.

Shining did what every soldier was trained to do. Fight until the end.
Wow. What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing about your grandpa, it touched me quite a bit today.
omg gina!!! your awesome
Wow that speech at the end... it was beautiful, it was warm, loving, so deeply tragic... but very beautiful and so very powerful. i didn't think any ending would be able to eclipse that amazing touching story but... Wow...
I really enjoyed this one. Very sad and heartful.
I'm sure your grandfather/gargan is proud that you are still teĺling stories.
My Palpal was like that to. When you lose someone like that, the center of your world, your life shatters around you and the wounds never heal. My Palpal was every thing to me and I hope that anyone with a person in there life that gives everything for them keeps that love with them forever.

Damnit Scribbler! You got me crying now. And that's not an easy feat.
This video didn't make me cry but your story did. Don't know why. Just reading and thinking about losing my father or grandfather or mother/grandfather I just cry I don't like thinking about it.
I'm crying soo much right now, i can barely type. Not only a good telling of a tale, the death of your loved one reminds me of a similar loss. Thank you for expressing yourself in such a way, as to help me remember that important person. THANK YOU!
Quite similar to The Last of Us a shunting is basically Joel watching over Applebloom (Ellie) as they survive and grow.
wow you really know how to touch a soul and i know i don't know you directly like i don't know a lot of people but my grandfather died near the beginning of the school year i felt like i couldn't go on like my life was over but a wise person told me not to morn over the death of others and to tell the story of the lost but never ever forget for if you do they will truly be gone so you admitting this is a sign of strength and that is the most wonderful thing to have so i admire your show of strength

The quotes and the music really bring this all together
Then the music at the end it caught me off guard, great story great voice actors as always

Beautiful. Just beautiful. I think your grandfather would be proud of you.
Dear god, I'm sorry for your loss. For what its worth, coming from a complete stranger, I offer my deepest my condolences.
i loved the ending to this fic, it was very beautiful.

Shining kept his promise even though he died in the process he said everything would be fine and he was right Apple Bloom found Apple Jack

Wow that was impressive inquiring of information. After all we were reading a log, in fading so it’s just implied that she faded, but not concrete.
Ooohh what about that one called "safe"?
this was heart reaching for me
My grandpa or my mom's dad died of cancer since the early 1990's before I was born. I basically never saw him in my life. I've only a picture of him. It's all I can remember when he was a soldier during the vietnam war.

I'm so sorry for you grandpa but I'm sure is really proud of you :)
(Que descanse en paz)
lost and found is what this should be called ITS SO SAD
The feels. I loved this. I wish I could've meet my grandfather on my dads side. He fought in the Korean War and I hope he is in a better place. I also miss my grandpa on my moms side he died when I was 3 and my sister didn't meet him. Even though he didn't fight he was awesome.
Ah, I liked this one. :D
Thanks.
Salute to your grandfather. I wish you the best scribbler
I know that feeling scribbler....

I'm not even fazed by this.
im very sorry for your loss trust me I know how you feel I lost my mom when I was 8 years old and im only 12 right now it still hurts things will get better
Some fic's work just as well if you remove the names, and replace the setting with a new world. This one joins the ranks of Upheaval as one of those.
I’m sorry for your loss
That was amazing
it was graet one of my faverits so far
Lossssssssssss. Hurts!
waaaait I thought it said everypony was dead, how come Apple Jack was there?
It's hard to kill Apple Jack that's why and if you say she was a changeling why would the changeling have to pose as some pony else when most are already dead and if it was starving it would of attacked Apple bloom just like the one that attacks shining the night before . Apple Jack is pretty strong and smart she like Apple Bloom were hoping for survivors maybe she was hiding somewhere near by ....
Because Shining Armor finished his final mission.
He helped Apple Bloom find what was left of her family, especially her siblings.
Damn
Shining was actually kinda badass
