Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks Lisa. I was thinking about having them die at the end, but I really didn't like that idea very much, so I'm glad I went with the ending I did. Everyone else seemed to like it too. Thank you so much for the feedback and I am glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! It was a great way to start the day

Shhh, you'll ruin my rep! Nah, I like writing pure romance every once and a while. Blake and Luke were great characters and I enjoyed telling their story. Glad you enjoyed it as well. Thanks for reviewing

Man, it has been a BAD winter for illnesses. Bronchitis, flu and pneumonia are running rampant this year. Take care and hope you start feeling better soon!

I'll be there if I can get the time off work.

Thank you. It was interesting to write about their lives, even if there wasn't a lot of room for extra detail. I thought about having one of the characters die at the end, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I like them too much and really wanted to give them a happy ending I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. This was a difficult story to write, but I fell in love with the characters and in the end, I was glad to be able to tell their story. And I'm very glad you liked the details of life on a farm (even though I have never set foot on one before). Sorry about the word smirked. I guess we all have words that make us shudder on the inside. Maybe Luke can help you like that word again Thank you again for the review. I'm so glad you liked this story.

Yes, I did notice you tend to like my lighter pieces. (My beta calls it fluff and happens to like them too). I can enjoy them too, as long as it not the only thing I write. I did explore their young adult years a little bit. There is a little bit of debate as to what age that entrails, but I hit the summer time season right around their college years, which would be at least 20 or 21. And Luke did press the issue of their relationship (or lack thereof) sometime in the past, since Blake refers to it as "the same old fight". I think Luke might have been worried about pushing Blake too far, afraid that Blake would abandon him completely and it just got to the point where Luke wasn't willing to take it anymore. But it was definitely a sensitive issue for both of them and I'm glad Blake finally decided to stop being a moron and accepted a life with the man he loves. And that is a very perceptive comment about the anthology. This piece was actually written for a special project meant to identify weakness in my writing and it has some of the same specifications that made it similar to an anthology, namely writing for a theme, having a word limit, and a deadline. (Thank God for deadlines)! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the review!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTA!!!

Seasons of love Blake gazed up at the dark ceiling, listening to the lullaby of a spring night at his grandparent’s farm. He could hear the howl of coyotes and incessant buzz of cicadas. It was always most noticeable the first night in the country. It took some time for his mind to transition from the regular noisy, nighttime background of traffic and the creak of footsteps from his upstairs neighbors. Blake didn’t mind the unfamiliar sounds. He was warm in his bed

A story about friendship between two teenagers that deepens into more throughout the years.

Happy Birthday Hubby!!!

Prompt #194: You were found unconscious on board a boat that can carry about sixty people. The boat is empty but there are clothing and things belonging to many different people. The police question you to find out what happened. Why were you on the boat and where are the rest of the passengers? ~~~~~ I was surprised that there was no pain. I had expected, upon waking up from a loss of consciousness, that there might be a headache, or maybe at least some disorientation. But no,

Good news Renee.

Yeah, I talk to Roan. When he was really sick, I took his picture and some quotes from him and anything that made me think of him and put it on a poster board. I would sometimes look at it, and look at his picture and start talking to him. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who does that.

Whoo-hoo!! Have a great one JC

He was very much loved and will be very much missed.

I'm trained in CPR for work, but always good to see a reminder. Thanks for sharing.

Everybody is just a mess, and there is a lot of sadness all around. But it'll get better. Thanks for the review.

Don't stress, the story isn't over yet. Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks for the review intune, I'm glad you are enjoying it! Tibial's sister is pretty evil, but his dad is pretty special. I like him a lot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
