What a piece. It seemed to stray over a lot of things - between thoughts and places and people. I guess that makes it a perfect snapshot of Len's wandering thought process as he is lost in a mire of memories and feelings as he bids goodbye and packs his mother's china. But yeah for the line at the end ... Maybe it could begin here. Though I suppose sadly, that for McCoy he has a number of times when he sort of 'begins here'. Something melancolic or bittersweet about it all.

Aw god, that was beautiful. I could see the dust floating in the air, feel the warmth of the sun through the window. Lovely imagery. And so true to character. McCoy definitely would have wanted a family. He is that kind of guy and without the medicine, would have made a great father. But he gave himself to the cause.
A truly emotional and heartfelt fic. Thanks so much for writing :D

A perfectly adorable little narrative that provides us a very believable backstory to McCoy's choice of career. I might have found it tempting to compose something where the dog was saved by Len instead, perhaps through some astute observation. But, you're right, loss is the better teacher in this case and strong enough to motivate a career choice. A very rich story.
Author's Response: ::bows:: Thank you very much! It's not my favorite piece for McCoy, but I'm glad it came across all right.

:::sighs:::: A moving story Steff. The china, never used, as his own life. Seventeen years just waiting to reach the point when his future will take him, forcing him to make unwanted but not so unexpected choices.
Thanks Steff. You make wonderful moments from tiny life details...Magnolias was a sweet one. I love Magnolias.
Author's Response: Thank you much, Vero!

You've taken stream of consciousness to the point of art here. I think Anton Chekhov would have been proud. He was a doctor, too, after all. ;-) Great job, Steff!
Author's Response: I don't know if the flow is honestly that good, but thanks for the encouragement on it!

Thank you, Steff. It was a beautiful, yet heartbreaking moment, and again, a little snippet into just what makes our enigmatic doctor tick. Worth the wait, and the challenge. ;-)
Author's Response: Thank you, very much!
