Dignified

Another fantastic chapter Preston, with Oscar's future starting to look pretty well sorted. There are many things that need to be completed for the 'Grands' plan for Oscar's future to come together. First and foremost is his finishing secondary school (pretty sure 'dux' is not in the cards, given his medical time off), and planning for Uni, with a possible combined B.Fin, B.Agribus & B.Env.St. (Bachelor of Finance, Agribusiness and Environmental Studies, whew!) to successfully run what is being put together. A close second is looking after his health: physical, emotional/ mental and sexual (his identity). That will also mean finding a fix for the issues with his parents (absentee father and controlling mother), and perhaps more important, strong loving connections with his younger sister Amana and brother Deacon, so none of them feel abandoned or estranged from each other. Finally is Oscar's friendships and relationships with his mates from school. And as @JohnnyC said: "I’m hoping he will meet someone who he could grow old with. He needs some more love & comfort in his life". My gut feeling is he already has, he just doesn't know it yet. And @quokka hasn't let us in on that secret ... yet 😉. But discovering that person, can't trigger any further anxiety/panic attacks.

Comicality was a source of inspiration for many, and one of the reasons I began my writing endeavour. I'm in shock over here, and never expected to read such a thing. He was so enthusiastic and full of life. Such a kind guy, caring and open once you got talking to him. Rest in peace my friend.

I have been called ma'am before but never "madam" and though I've set up friends on dates I have never "arranged dates." Never have I ever dated a married man.

I remember Harold and Marjorie referring to the drug dealer who rented the shop next door to their quilt shop, the shop below the home Ollie lived with his mother and deceased father. Whose to say Ollie's mother had not found comfort in the arms of the drug dealer or was perhaps working with the drug dealer. Perhaps her poor choices are not restricted to the time after the death of Ollie's father, perhaps she made poor choices which contributed to the death of her husband.

While Quigley’s ship was being repaired on Lady Talula’s low-orbit space station, Captain Suoki and the Lady talked. After hearing his story, she granted him permission to borrow one of her two ships in order to meet Lyoth and Stawren at the hidden safe house. Little Riah whined to her parents about Captain Suoki not leaving with them to be dropped off in Boullia Bay, even though that had been the plan, and he promised to meet up with them another time. Quigley launched the Burn Throne, and a mo

I keep thinking, 'Where were all these people when I was growing up?' Such is the nature of fantasies. sigh...

Thank you! The current media landscape does not leave much room for hope and happiness, especially for queer people.

Thank you so much! We will see how much energy I have to face a green horde again

Thank you! I am very glad that it is so well received.

Keep speculating @Summerabbacat. The assumption is that the drug dealer was the guy renting the shop next to the quilt supply shop. Remember he packed everything into a van and drove off once the police left. Since Ollie's dad was killed she has made some very poor choices.

Thank you Preston for this latest chapter ! Oscar and His Grandparents are doing a fine job planning for Oscar’s Future . I’m hoping he will meet someone who he could grow old with ,He needs some more love & comfort in his life .
