That was just beautiful and so very perceptive. Sam's comment bugged the hell out of me too - if anyone understands loss, it is Dean Winchester.  I am so sorry for the personal loss which gives you such an understanding of it. Please don't think I am trivialising that when I say that you wrote this piece just beautifully.

I agree - sometimes it's the little things that get to you the most - my man died 10 years ago, and sometimes I still feel the pain of that afternoon, like a fresh stab to the heart.

Beautifully written - I really enjoyed this. I'm so glad you decided to go with your impulse and share this. Thank you.

That was just fabulous!  Yeah, that line always bugged me too...  And I never believed Dean in Home when he said he didn't remember very much - I think he must have seen Mary too!

Oh and thanks for making me cry at the thought of Kiddie!Dean sobbing away when he realised what 'dead' meant *sniff* you sure know how to tug on a girl's heartstrings...

Oh my God, you just totally made me cry. That was... *incredible*. Like you, it really bugged me when Sam told Dean he couldn't possibly know he felt. I was so upset when he said that, imagining the pain he must have caused Dean, saying that. And you just put it all down right there... that was, like I said, incredible. I know what it's like to lose someone you love as well, and that's why it made me cry. It's just really, really good. Thank you for that. : )

Thank you so much for writing this missing scene. I am also convinced that Dean had to have seen his Mom die. This also opens up the interesting thought that Dean is the only one to really have seen Mary AND Jess die... It also really bugged me when Sam brushed off Dean. I can't speak to losing a sibling, but when a parent dies (my Dad died several years ago) it leaves a hole that is different than other losses. Not to mention how much Dean has lost in looking after Sam and his Dad for all of these years...

Simply beautiful. I think you did a great job with this. I too always hated Sam for saying that to Dean.  This story is a perfect example of what a missing scene should be.

I guess to be charitable you could say Sam was hurting and simply didn't think, but still the look in Dean's eyes revealed all his hurt and memories. Like you, I know Dean saw his mom that night and you did a terrific job of revealing his memories of that night.

Only after you have suffered a loss do you understand the very real pain that always stays with you, just under the surface waiting for some insignificant event or moment to trigger it. You perfectly explained that.  How it is like a tidal wave that just sweeps over you, taking you back to the pain.

Fearing losing hold of the memories and that person is so very real. Sometimes you feel guilty for not keeping them tightly with you, but that is the nature of grief, you have to move on.

Again, fantastic job at delving into Dean's psyche and showing us again that scared four year old and why he is the way he is. Wonderful touch at the end with him basically forgiving Sammy and vowing to always keep him safe.  That is the Dean we know and love.

Congrats, this is the first story on this site to go into my favorites. Thanks, B.J.
