The beginning is good. Then i sort of got detached from Cody and her "quest". I didnt really understand her  motive. But then... BAM! The end. The end killed me. I did shed a tear. I really liked how it was write. We can follow Cody through the stages of grief. It's beautiful yet sad.

Please, dont let people live what the characters lived. They do care.
