18* Chapter 9: ''Lincoln's Blue Period - Part 2''

48** Lori and Luna forgive each other for their violent argument 3 chapters earlier.
49** The bulk of the chapter is one big moment of heartwarming as Lynn Sr. and Lincoln bond during their fishing trip. Special mention goes to the part where Lynn explains why Lincoln was named after president Abraham Lincoln; because Lynn always knew Lincoln would be extraordinary.

73* Chapter 26: ''A smile at the twilight of life (FINAL)''
74** This chapter, being the GrandFinale, no doubt has the biggers CMOH of all, since the author obviously wants to end the story on a high note rather than a depressing one. ''All'' of Lincoln's family, friends, and ''every single person'' he ever met and meant something for, no matter how brief or small, gathered at the gym of the Royal Woods Athletic Club to throw Lincoln a massive surprise party. One where they all praise him for the many accomplishments he made in his short life, remind him how much he meant for them, and all give him a reward they won to thank him for it. All while Luna and her band sing a song she composed for him.
