    Thank you!

    Let's hope so. Daniel is liable to do something that stupid out of fear of being a burden, unfortunately.

    That's good. I believe it's the same in Norway. I haven't actually been able to find the exact legal framework in the UK, so I'm winging it a little bit. Call it artistic license, lol! But I do believe that there is a preference for children to live with their biological families in possible. Thanks for reading and commenting!

    Neither do I, really. But the story goes where it goes.

    Here's hoping. Daniel is so stuck in the mindset that he shouldn't be a burden to anyone that putting on a brave face is what he does if he's at all able to. Thanks so much for commenting!

    In my experience, most social workers have a great deal of empathy. Unfortunately, they have to work within a system that doesn't. Thanks for commenting!

    I rang the doorbell to Stephen and Lewis’s house. Daniel’s house. The thought made me smile. It was early Thursday afternoon, two days before New Year’s Eve. Christmas had been good. Better than good. It had been great, and I knew Daniel had had a good Christmas, too, for once. I hoped things had gone well with his grandparents the day before. The door opened and Daniel appeared. ‘Hey.’ ‘Hey!’ I grinned, stepping inside, but a moment later my face fell at seeing Daniel’s expression. He l
  8. Hey, everybody. Logging on to update a story, thought I'd drop in. Hot today, almost 30°C. It's awful, but I'm gonna go jump in the sea later to cool off. Hope you've been and are doing well! @MacGreg Really sorry to hear about you and sean. Hope you're doing okay. You've lent me a friendly ear more than once; on the off chance it would do any good, I'm a PM away (even if I won't be online too much in the next couple of weeks, I'll probably check my messages once a day or so).
  9. Thanks, everyone! And now, sleep. Enjoy your evening!
  10. Well, I'm headed for bed. Up early tomorrow. We're driving for seven hours to Stockholm, then taking the overnight ferry to Turku, and then another six or seven hours on the road on Sunday to get to where we're going. Long trip, but it'll be worth it for two weeks of quiet in the forest. No WiFi, so I'll be online sparingly. Hoping to get a lot of writing done, though. I'll drop in occasionally and say hi. Be good, everyone! Goodnight, DiC!
  11. This makes me so happy. I'm glad you guys are where you want and need to be. ❤️
  12. If you want a funny, light-hearted, cute little romance, don't read this book. Read this book if you want to feel. If you're prepared for a rollercoaster of raw emotions and probably a few tears, this is the book for you. And even if you're not ready, read it anyway. You'll read the final word of the final chapter, and you'll be glad that you did. Wayne is a fantastic writer who will take you on a remarkable journey, so let him.
  13. Such a beautiful ending. Markus fits so perfectly with Nate and Chris. And as happy as they were together, just the two of them, they need a third to feel complete. Once you've been in that kind of relationship, I think it's hard to go back. Thank you for letting me be a part of this journey, Wayne. It's been an honour and a privilege. ❤️
  14. Not leaving until tomorrow. Just packing today. Hope you have a good day as well!
  15. Morning, all. Happy Friday! Had to start my day by paying a bill to the tax authorities, so that was fun, lol! Hope you're all well. Enjoy your day! I'm really sorry to hear that. He seemed like good people.
  16. It's time for bed. Tomorrow is packing day, as I leave for Finland Saturday morning. Goodnight, DiC!
  17. Sounds like a good way to start your morning. Good morning, DiC! It's already 4:30 here and I've done all the useful things I needed to do today. Picked up my new passport, bought some new exercise wear and now I can relax.
  18. Goodnight, @Defiance19! And goodnight, rest of the DiC. I'm gonna get some sleep, too.

    Three years later and the threads are still being woven together into a beautiful tapestry.
  20. Evening, all! Hope you're all well. Despite feeling not great today either I went for a run and now I feel much better. So yay! Exercise helps, apparently. Who'd have thought?

    It's sad how the system fails some of these kids, by prioritising the rights of the family above the rights of the child. I live in a country where this happens less; the Norwegian child protection service, Barnevernet, is internationally infamous for 'taking people's kids away'. In reality, we just have a lower threshold for abuse and neglect. It's far from perfect, but it does put the kid first in most cases. Thanks so much for reading and commenting, Def!

    Thank you! Yeah, Jason is a loudmouth. Someone really needs to knock him down a peg or two...
  23. Morning, DiC. Yesterday was a not so great day, health-wise. Hoping for a better one today. And I hope you all have a good day!
  24. Wow, that's awesome! Well done! And good luck with your Sociology class.
