HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GARY!!! I hope you have a wonderful day! 👋 ❤️🎊🎉🎆🎈🎁🛍🎂🍾 I wanted this to be bigger & in color, but I couldn’t figure out how to do that on my phone.

Oh my goodness, where are you Trees???!!! I’ve been waiting over a month for an update. Is Nick going to be OK?

This is turning into another of your awesome stories, Comsie! I’m looking forward to more!

Stannie!!!! I came on here to wish a very dear friend a happy bday, but then I remembered I never commented on your hella awesome chapters! I’m still following this story; I have it on my phone, and whenever I have time I check to see if it’s been updated. I’m waiting with bated breath for the next chapter!!!!!

Jeez, I’m gone for so long I forgot how to use these quotes! Haha. Thank you, Gary!!! I actually came on here to wish Addy a very happy bday, but now I’m going through all my notifications while watching the end of the AMAs. I do actually keep up with a few stories, but I just don’t log in because it’s usually at 10 pm, right before bed. 🙃

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADDY!!!! I hope you have an awesome day!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎊🎆🎈🎁🛍🎂🍮🍰🧁🍻🍾🐶🐶🐱🐱

Hey, so I haven’t logged onto GA in forever, but I had to log on tonight to tell you how great this story is, Geoff. 😄 I’ve been following the story from the beginning, & I can see how Eddie & Matty have matured even in that short time. They are so good for each other. Eddie’s advice to Nate was perfect. I also agree w/the other readers who thought George took the coward’s way out. He was more concerned about being with his dead wife than watching his only child grow up & being there for him. I did have a question, though, Geoff. I don’t remember if this story takes place outside the US or not, but it was my understanding that if someone commits suicide, their family can’t collect the life insurance. Anyway, I’m looking forward to the next chapter. 😄

Thank you for the picture, Jamie. Lacey was very photogenic and looked good in every picture he posted on here. He will always be in your heart, Jamie, and he will never be forgotten. I’m going to ditto Thorn; if you ever want to talk, cry, whatever, PM me.

I had to wait until my tears stopped falling on my keyboard. Thorn, your tribute to Lacey is absolutely beautiful. I wish I had known him better. I occasionally commented on his blogs, and he would comment back, but that’s as far as it went. You had such a good relationship with him, and I know exactly what you mean by falling in love but not a romantic love. That’s so easy to do on here because you become so close to some people. Sorry. I hit ‘Quote’ by accident, and I don’t know how to delete it. Thank you, Thorn, for writing such a heartfelt and beautiful tribute.

I’ve actually been MIA for nine months!!!! My hours at work increased, and by the time I get home I’m so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open. We all work ten-hour days where I am. I came on here yesterday because I had heard really sad news, so I wanted to comment on that particular thread. Thank you so much for your kind words, Ethan! I’m very rusty in that area now since I haven’t had time to do any editing for anyone. I’m so glad you joined GA; it’s a terrific site with awesome members and staff, as I’m sure you know by now.

Back in the day, I used to LOVE Aaron Carter, and I used to listen to his CD all the time!!!! So naturally he would be the first person I thought of when I saw the two names of the MCs. And I swear, Laura, I would have NEVER guessed you weren’t born in the states from your writing! There are many, many, many native English speakers who don’t have as good a command of the English language as you do. I think the only thing I would point out was when you put ‘probably’ in front of the noun instead of after it. “Probably he thought...” instead of “He probably thought...”. See what I mean? Other than that — 👍👍.

This is a beautiful poem, Mr. M. Thank you for sharing the link on Lacey’s post. I would not have read it otherwise. 😢

Ethan!!!!! So glad to see you on here!!!! How are you? It’s great that you’re posting N & J on here; you’re getting a lot of positive feedback!

Jason, I’ve been following this story from the beginning, and you are a very talented author. You totally roped me in to the type of story I really hate. Well, the subject matter I hate. I would imagine every time The Fiend is in the chapter, it would be a hard chapter to write. I couldn’t imagine writing someone that evil and predatory. I’m looking forward to the next chapter (which I just noticed is now up!).
