Well written @Tony S. I did not just read the chapter, I lived every moment with Kent. When reading your chapters, i am forced to be there with them, they are so deep. I am exhausted after each posting. When Kent is forced to smile, so am I. There is something magical about your writing. You transmit a picture of the goings on better than any movie. Thank you , Tony, for the constant surprises and entertainment!

So much sentimentality! I was tearing up for most of the chapter. My heart was torn apart that they were splitting up again for the next few months. Their expression of love through the kiss was so heart warming. @Tony S., your writing skills improve every chapter in spite of the fact that they seem to achieve ultimate perfection every time. It is difficult to find a writer who presents characters who invite me into their world like you do. I'm not sure if that's good or bad because when I get pulled into something that is as much of a tearjerker as this is I almost wished I didn't. I do know that you're probably one of the best writers on GA. Thank you so much for applying your first class writing skills to your work every time. It increases the pleasure manyfold.

A new milestone is ahead for Levi. He will soon be, with some effort, a licensed driver. Finding his father's name on his birth certificate, which apparently he has never seen, Is comforting as well. @Mark Ponyboy Peters, you're building this story beautifully. From where we sit we can see the wheels turning in Levi's head. You are an excellent writer and express what's going on extremely well. What's especially nice is that your writing is not filled with errors and unproofread mistakes. Thank you for continuing to provide us with quality plots and excellent reading experiences.

Kent has successfully climbed his first hill in the Marines. It was quite an accomplishment. With your writing skills, @Tony S., we lived through every ounce of anguish they felt in boot camp. Excellent writing, great proofreading, Intriguing plot, and I can't wait for the next chapter! thank you for continuing to entertain us and your wonderful stories.

What a superb story. It ran through every emotion known to man. I've cried. I've laughed. I held my breath. @Mrsgnomie, You have covered everything in the story and it's all good! Thank you for such a heart warming experience I wish it had been twice as long as I hate to leave the family behind.

Kent is settling in and hurting just a little bit less. @Tony S., your writing continues to be superb! I feel like I am Inside Kent's skull when I read these. Everything comes through so clearly. Thank you so much for your beautiful and precise writings. It is a blessing to read your stories and to enjoy your plots.

Levi is now turning to the next chapter in his life. He's still uneasy some of the time but he appears to be dealing with it. @Mark Ponyboy Peters, you continue to do a great job chapter after chapter. Your description of their emotions and activities bring us right into the story with Levi, Matt, and Luke We empathize with and love them more each time we read about them. Keep up the good work and I thank you very much for the continued quality entertainment!

I'm certainly convinced that I'm glad I never enrolled In the Marines. A most convincing dialog! I could feel Kent's loneliness. Arriving on Parris Island certain wasn't something I would want to do. @Tony S., You certainly up your game with each succeeding chapter. Listening to them lying next to one another in their bunks, everything was so vivid. Good job and thank you for the continuing high quality entertainment!

Unbelievably beautiful! Thank you very much, @Mrsgnomie!

Well, Levi is not only settling into town but he is also feeling comfortable with his dad. That was a pretty touching moment between the two of them. Step by step Levi is working his way into being a resident of Thompsonville. @Mark Ponyboy Peters, you are continuing to do a great job with this story. I am enjoying it tremendously and of course not just for the plot but for the presentation including the lack of errors and good grammar. I especially appreciate the fact that you stay away from the sleaze of page after page of sexual encounters. They don't make a story they ruin it. Interesting storylines make a good story and you have found the formula. Thank you again!

This is certainly a tough transition for both boys. Identical twins are really a part of one person and when one half leaves it normally devastates the other. @Tony S., you are so good with writing believable situations. Your ability to translate them into a picture that we can all see is superior to most writers which makes your plots and stories so much more interesting and believable. As I have said before you should consider writing a novel on the side and publishing it. You're excellence in writing and conveying the underlying happenings is superior to most. Thank you for continuing to entertain us!

After having read Still Alive, Dumbass, there are aspects of this I dread reading again. That was such an emotional story and i suspect you will be cranking it up a notch this time. @Tony S. , you are such a talented writer and, in spite of what I have just written, I look forward to the chapters to come. Thank you for coming back with another story so quickly. Not being able to look toward regular postings by you can cause withdrawal pains. Again I say "thank you" for your excellent writings presented in a superior way, with thoughtful and interesting plots!

Well, @Mark Ponyboy Peters, looks like Levi got his feet wet at school. They're always the wise arses in every school. At least he seems to have Jimmy on his side and most likely his friend Dan when they get together finally. Levi's a bit shy but in time he will slide out of his shell little by little. It was a short but well written chapter and it introduced Levi to school which is gonna be a big part of his life from here on in. Thank you Mark for keeping it going and we look forward to the next chapter. Your frequent posting is most welcome versus those who wait months between.

Levi begins to settle in. It sure looks like he's going to make it. Everyone feels uneasy at first with something new, Levi is just no different. It is cute how he's attracted to the blonde boy considering thr strict anti gay life he came from. He may just follow after his father's footsteps. Matt's a good man so that would be fine. @Mark Ponyboy Peters , you continue to do a fine job. As you said this is a new phase in Levi's life but it seems to be starting out OK. I look forward to seeing it as it develops further. I can't wait until the next chapter as I am now hooked on this part of the story. Thank you Mark.

Hopefully, you have something else up your sleeve for us as I never tire of your plots @Tony S..
