It's closer than you think Richard!!! “When should we have kids?” I asked. Lucien spray out his drink he had just sipped. To look at me, dumbstruck. “When would you like to start?” He finally answered back. Looking over at him. “How about next year?” His mouth opened, then closed. The smile formed as he spoke.

Eric Griffin will henceforth be known as a giant gas bag full of ill winds....

So glad Casey was able to help them, purely being selfish...I hope that Drew's father finds out, to his everlasting shame, that he walked away from his son, whose only crime was love...There's a lesson for the old man in all of that, one hopes he learns it!! Owning an older home, I can categorically state, they will never be done with the work, but they will love it even more as they pour their hearts and souls into it!!!

It looks as if the marriage between the boys is working and growing!!!

Thanks for this, it helps the Christmas spirit grow!!!

I feel for Frank and helping him may be a dicey proposition...considering everyone else continues to treat him as a young child...

Ethan...get on the social media bandwagon and fire it up, use your celebrity status to create a new career and put pressure on those who incarcerated Wesley, and the following is a cause you could fight for... At least once in school Tyrone had tried to convince Jess that men had it worse. “ Guys commit suicide more than girls do ,” had been the key point of his argument. Jess was having none of that and fired back at once, “ That’s because men are naturally more violent. Look at how they kill themselves. Men will drive a car off the road or use a gun. They leave messes because they’re too inconsiderate to whoever has to clean up after them. Women will just overdose .” I came back to the present and said, “I’m sorry, man. That sucks for real.” And then, “You think being a normal straight guy makes you similar to Wesley though?” “I do,” he said, completely serious. “Not measuring up. Not having your struggles taken seriously. Being unwanted, not trusted, ridiculed. I mean it, dude. When Wesley gets out I’m gonna buy him a beer.”

In a strange new world Richard is playing a long game, I believe Michael's instruction has paid dividends...We see/hear of some political opposition which is fading in the face of Richard's outreach to all the children....One hopes that any disgruntled suitor/political opponent, stays clear of the children....for their own sake....

There's much to be said about living on a farm at that impressionable age!!!

Hauntingly and a sadly beautiful chapter, like others, I suspect the journal will play a large role in 'closing the circle'...

Some very sensible advice in this chapter, not living but a couple of hours from Rock River, I just might/may/will have to check it out!!

And the tension is building. I hope to all heck that there is a tail on the Jack and he is followed from a distance. What will Eddie have left Roger, and it is good to see Melissa begin the process of securing the twins with Roger’s help! Here’s hoping the boys in the van are taken back with little trouble!!

The era in time is important….banks and the stock market may not be safe…

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer…..

Loved this chapter ever so much!

Am enjoying the heck out of this story!!!!

Good on Robbie on standing his ground, fingers are crossed he and Manny find comfort in their journey. As to the rest of them, the parents were so aptly described as transactional...siblings, the jury is out at the moment as the story blurb indicates some issues are forthcoming... An interesting first chapter, looking forward to the next...

Folks, this story is as good as it gets...stop reading this comment and start Ch 1!!!

And the boys are on the road again to their new future and it looks bright...if they use Mickey's swimmers...that's 12K saved...and I would expect if Casey agrees to be the surrogate, them there would be some savings there...still it is early days yet... WTF was the Ass Dean thinking??? While I agree with his thought about clerking for SCOTUS, I can fully understand the need for Mickey to establish some permanence as he noted, he's been away from home since he was 13... Like @mayday said...more, more MORE!!!!! Here is another future story line gratis...Mickey saves Drew's father's company in a precedent setting courtroom battle against the evil step-bitch...and her drug addled sons....taking down those cafeteria, so-called christians....

The good doctor is anything but....I mean...WTF!!! That was stooping to an all time new low.....mighr be time for threatening some legal action to squeeze some $$ for the old bank account...

Kids do the darndest things and for some stupid reason it brought back the following memories....

Ya know that bragging like that is going to hurt the Korner Krew's reputation....oh wait...we'd have to have a rep to ruin....

A marvelous chapter to say the least…Someone needs a quiet conversation with Morrie say the least…can’t wait to see how Ralph handles his next get together with his parents….Therese is warming to me and looking forward as to how they discuss the facts of life with the twins….

I get the feeling it’s the NHC’s loss….

Sorta sums it up for me... “Wake up! Everyone is lying! This is an industry with a lot of money involved. Everyone is making moves based on that, don’t ever think any different.”
