In Which We Discuss War and Peace, Part 12, Chapter 16

Chapter 16

This chapter is dedicated to explaining exactly what happened to Andrew.  It's tricky to summarise, but he's basically accepted death, which means letting go of his earthly connections.  His love for Natasha has been interfering with that, but now death is coming and everyone around him accepts it, even Mary and Natasha.  Andrew kisses his son and blesses him when reminded, but otherwise the days pass calmly until Andrew dies.

That's the end of part 12.  There are five parts left, ranging between 20 and 12 chapters, for a total of 86 chapters.  If I read one a day, I'll be done by the first of April.
