Closure is what I see. I choose not to take your ending in Armageddon literally. I think Bob constructed a scenario that would call out his father's memory. And he has found the father who loved him and whom he has been running toward in that one joyful memory. A memory where he chooses to wrap the both of them into oblivion in that happy instant. Always looking for the happy ending Shaina!
I am glad you understand my point of view Shaina. I was a little trepidatious that you might have thought I veered too far from perhaps a darker message. But I was pretty sure I felt that undercurrent of love.
Wow, this was vivid and enrapturing. I couldn’t snark in my restacks because this whole thing felt reverent and sad and poignant. What a story. What a well told story. Thank you for this 🙏

I love this take Frank! There is love there. It ends with love. All the stuff in the middle was a mess but in the end, they’re together.

You’re spot on.
This was my take, too, Frank. There is the bleaker, darker option, which may still be valid, but my read on this was a non-literal Armageddon.
The use of that closing line was very powerful, Shaina.

Echoing Frank's thoughts. This was a very powerful story, Shaina. Hurt, loss, fear, so many emotions, but ultimately a moment of love.
Beautifully composed.
Thank you Linda ❤️
