I have a few people to thank for helping me out on this one. As usual I need a lot of hand holding through the vidding process. One day I might be able make and post without prior feedback (though probably not because I love that part).

My uttermost thanks to zimshan for her fabulous feedback and suggestions. Her initial response made me take a really good look at this. Sometimes one word, one thought, one note cements a direction and I'm grateful for it. Thanks SO much for it all honey.

Many thanks also to secretlytodream *hugs* Of course, I'd actually like you to transplant that part of your brain that allows me to work effects the way you do, but your wonderful feedback and help will have to do! *g*. Thank you!

And to starrylizard for feedback that helped me shape the pacing. (Jeeze... this song ../o\). *smish* thanks so much hun.

Vid Notes

This was inspired by two sources. One was hearing dotfic talk about how Cas fans felt about losing him. It reminded me that we often lose well loved characters in the spn'verse. In the past I have made vids to characters who have met their demise so I thought I'd make one for Cas.

The other was the radio interview with Guy Bee. He said that the folding of Castiel's coat was like the folding of the American flag for a fallen solder's funeral. I thought the folding was very poignant and wanted to use it as the anchor for Dean's memories of Castiel.

I got a little thinky when re-shaping this vid and wanted to show not only Dean's fond memories of Cas but also the moments that lead to his downfall. I suppose I think of this as Castiel's funeral - though I firmly believe he will be back in the not too distant future.

I hope this is ok. It's just a little tribute to Castiel. Feedback is always valued. <33

*sniff* you made me wibble!

Cas was such a powerful character and he went through so much, changed and learned and grew, but didn't figure out the real lesson until too late. When you have friends, use them! They'll be there for you.

Excellent tribute.

Thank you so much.

And yes. That's was the very thing. That final lesson...to trust. That's why I feel they need to do something with Cas still. Give him a chance to either redeem or rise above. Not sure. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
