I would have made sure not a piece of the was left undestroyed

Me too, definitely... I don't blame Sam at all. And maybe Sam would claim that it was Dean's own fault - he really should have known better than to give Sam ideas. ;-)

Thank you for your lovely feedback! I probably shouldn't be glad that the story made you sad - but truthfully, I am, because it's a wonderful compliment that it was able to touch you so much. :-)
