This is my kind of story. I love the voice, I love the premise, I love the tough choices and the characterizations, and I love the resolution and the happy ending. This is a story worthy of an award. New reaper gets assigned to a two-and-a-half-year-old and has a bit of a problem doing his duty, and shennigans happen. Loved it.

"That’s what makes this job tough, of course. It’s not the dead rejoining the limitless love of the universe; it’s the ones they leave behind, who have to keep on trudging through the world beneath the burden of their terrible, limited love."
