Chapter 1 - The Bear Named Bear
Cole Matthews commented on Cole Matthews's story chapter in Chapter 1 - The Bear Named Bear
Thanks Suvitar! You never know what happens at 1550 Loring Lane. Tyler got what he needed I think instead of what he wanted. -
Thanks Suvitar. Im glad it worked. It was difficult to manage my own emotions. He was like a dear friend. Andy is gone but not forgotten. There is much more to come with the sequel. I appreciate the review.
-
Thanks Bryce! Leroy is a character but don't you have to love them? I hope you like roller coasters.
-
Mike, your review brought me to tears. If I can help people connect with their emotions, I've done more than I ever dreamed of. I hope your visit gave you some peace and joy. Andy and Button were brothers at heart. Thank you for your words Mike. Thank you!

Belated Happy Birthday LBO! Hope you had a wonderful day and weekend! *hugs*

Thanks BrokenAngel. I felt Andy was such an important part of Button's life, I had to make it a changeable moment in his life. I'm glad you liked my writing. That's high praise. Brent will be getting some help. He's pretty broken. That's where the sequel comes in. Brent's a pretty special guy too. Thanks for the review.
-
What a nice compliment. I really try to develop characters who seem real and are interesting. Louis deserved to be treated well and he gave Brody so much. Thank you so much BrokenAngel. Very appreciated!
-
Thanks Dughlas. It was difficult to write but I'm glad you found I did a good job of it. I appreciate the review.
-
Thanks Stephen. I tried to be honest and treat the characters as I believe they would in real life. I appreciate the kind words and the review.
-
Thanks Stephen. I wanted a look back at those we've lost and those who survived. We do gain a lot from their presence in our lives. I appreciate the kind words.
-
Very kind words that are much appreciated. I've really enjoyed writing this story. It feels great when I hear my thematic approach works. This chapter took me almost two weeks to finish. Thanks Brad for the really nice review.
-
Thanks Rebel. I cried as I wrote it. I appreciate the review and kind words. It's not done yet and then the sequel will start this fall.
-
I'm sorry about that Bob. Ran said the same thing to me! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Life does present us with horrific situations. Andy won't be forgotten. I'll just say that for now.

Thanks LadyDe! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was in high school when the Gay Cancer first hit. It was so scary. Along with my own acceptance I was gay, I feared what that meant for me. No one knew anything except people were dying sometimes quickly. I wrote this and a couple of weeks later The Normal Heart came on HBO. It confirmed my recollections at the time. I appreciate your kind words.
-
Thanks Kitt. I'm happy that came through. During times of stress and loss, we do grasp at things. It's especially hard for kids. I appreciate the kind words.
-
Oh Avid! I'm glad it moved you. Thank you for the review and I'm happy the story theme came through. It's one of my favorites.
-
Thanks Avid. The anger after a loss is the emotion hardest to understand, and hard to handle. Brent has the whole gang to support him. Nats too.
-
It is so hard when a young person passes. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Even after years it's hard to remember the pain. Thanks for the review.
-
Thanks Valkyrie. It is a difficult time for them. I'm glad their care for Andy came through. It was hard to write.

Eighteen Wheeler “Are you ready for this? We don’t have to do it now. We can wait. I don’t mind,” Button said trying to catch his breath. “No, I’m ready. I’ve been ready for a while and I think it’s time,” Mirabelle puffed. The excitement was plain on her face. “If you’re sure,” Button said with his heart racing. “Let’s do this,” Mirabelle said grabbing Button’s hand as they ran across the street into the tattoo parlor. They were getting matching tattoos, small ones. Both were getting a

I'm glad to see blatant difficulty with Jim's orientation is at the minimum. Most of it now isn't open dislike but discomfort. You did a great job making that distinction. It's still painful but harder to combat. Really nice portrayal of that in this chapter. Thanks Graeme!
-
Fantastic setup! I'm glad Deon's dad is part of this next episode. I'm so excited Graeme! I've been as patient as I could be!
-
Thanks Renee! I'm really digging these prompts. Such fun.
-
For me, the mid game kiss was a fantastic comment on how relationships can ease and focus the mind. It's so true. They don't distract, they elevate us. Great job Sasha. I'd say you impress me but then I'd be repeating myself.

What an intense and powerful chapter. I do like The Cadet a lot. I'm glad Corbin has some measure of happiness. I feel terrible for Pete. Great job and please continue! I'm a captive audience. Thanks for the emotional work.
