Such a beautifully moving and delightful story. Lovely the way you affirm Rayn and Daniel's feelings for each other in what others are seeing in the way they look at each other. Oh my, how are they going to get by Sara. She is going to be spitting, hissing mad at Rayn. I hope they manage to find a way round this to the point she can even see how much good it does Daniel. Rayn is pretty special too to see what he sees in Daniel and to be as protective of him as Sara is, only he is able to appreciate that Daniel needs lots more reign to be himself (oops - inadvertent pun that! Lol! But true too!) Where does the name Rayn come from? It's different and beautiful.

So far I am enthralled by your story and your characters. Love your humour too. The nest of field mice conjured up a lovely picture. So delightful. And Daniel is wonderful. I can understand being totally captivated by his beauty which I guess is not just outward either.

Ah, Nephy, it's been a long time since I read one of your stories. So glad to be back for a bit, and totally not disappointed. I love your writing. The mechanics are good and make it easy to read and you build mystery, suspense and atmosphere so easily. Nice work!

So very beautiful. Gary, you are so very, very good at this. I loved the love scene. Magnificent. So wonderfully evocative and so right. I wish I could find better words to do it justice. Thank you! And the build up to Christmas spent with the ones you love best. What could be better?! Puppies and kids! Wow! What a great combination that just speaks of family. And this is such an amazing family you are creating here. The sheer wonder and beauty and romance of it all really gets to me, so I cried through most of the chapter too, you will be happy to know. Thank you again!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! You are so good at creating, manipulating, directing, producing (what other words can I think of) this marvelous, incredible, beautiful, inspiring story. And I'm not just throwing out superlatives for fun. Genuine, Gary. This story rocks! You rock! I love how you lead us on, as much as Michael and Kendall too, in the Candy revelation. But her change of heart and character is so beautiful and convincing too. I wish she could be the model for the ilk of Christian brethren that her folks aspire from, as there is so little evidence that they ever embrace change. What you said about her being damaged by her background was so true and it took lots to change her - Kendall's attitude to her, the pregnancy, and now her man (what's his name? Leo was it?) And Nate is such a treasure. He is more like Kendall than his real uncle though. He has that same soft heart that cares so much about others. It's so beautiful to see. He really has been there for Josh. What a guy! No wonder Bodie's smitten. Who wouldn't be! And it seems the temperature is rising sharply. Hurry the next chapter! Though, if I know you, Gary, you might just insert some other rabbit trails in the next chapter before we get down to the really hot stuff. However, I'm not complaining, because you don't disappoint whatever you do and I trust you completely to continue this amazing work. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I see Facebook has introduced a LOVE button as well as the LIKE. I think GA should do the same. I so fucking love this story. Whoops, sorry, kids! It fills my heart and my eyes. I love these guys - all 6 now! Though I must say the ideal does leave me a bit sad too, because it's so far from the reality of my life. Lol! One can dream, and dream, and dream! And you sure know how to set the dreams alight. Thanks, Gary! So, so appreciate you beautiful story. I love how you take the story to new and unexpected levels all the time, Gary. It just goes on getting better and better. Makes me want to shout and dance! And the humour in their exchanges is so damn good too. Keep it rolling, Gary! Don't event think of winding this down anymore. Just keep winding it up. More, more, more! Please, please, please! Yeah, I heard that mention of "in depth" for a future chapter and if its what I think it means, that's good. The temperature needs to be taken by the good doctor! Lol! It's long overdue.

Seems I've finally caught up. Disappointed that another chapter is not there but waiting with baited breath. Lol! Thanks so much for a magnificent story. Every chapter has been a delight and a pleasure. I am resolved to read this all again once it's all done, simply because it is such a great story and it has brought me so much pleasure.

The youngsters are adding another layer to an already rich story. So good. Lovely chapter.

Continue to love it so much. Thank you!

Awesome!

Great job all round. Just love the way things are developing and the fact I am able to read this wonderful story. It really inspires me. Just come from a serious discussion over cofee with a younger pastor friend whom I have not had the pleasure of associating with for a long time. It was good but quite tense. He wants to learn from me but also is quite challenging and won't let me get away with an inch. It was fairly tense but I think his heart is right and he does assure me that he is not wanting me to feel pressured in any way at all. It's just our positions are so far apart and I hope we can continue a sensible discussion in which we both learn from each other. But because I come from that discussion I am feeling a little more vulnerable than usual. This story helps me get things back into my perspective rather than his. Thanks, Gary!

I guess I must be a very wounded soul. I'm so vulnerable and your story really, really, really gets to me deeply, so that I'm moved to tears so easily over it. But I'm believing it's all healing tears. I hope so anyway. I'm so touched by your characters and the interactions. They are very real and true to me and I get touched by the joy and touched by the sadness, so I just can't escape spending most of my reading with wet eyes. Glad I'm on my own mostly! Lol! Too embarrassing otherwise to be crying over my computer. Lol! But thank you, Gary, for writing this story and writing it so very well. I love it.

So very special and so moving, again. Your description of their attraction is a description of falling in love, so evidently. I have loved much but I'm not sure I've ever "fallen in love" or "been in love" with someone. It's so different to loving someone and it's so different to lusting after someone. I'm so envious of you and of KenMik and of the boys now NatBod. Lol! Of course, it may not last, but hopefully it will. Both boys seem pretty mature and sensible, and in facing the world together, they may be drawn into a tight knot that is not easily unravelled. I hope so. Again, it is so romantic and I love the romance of it. I'm such a dreamer and an idealist. Lol! Loved the clothing and loved Mike's responses to, though he's really playing them along. Lol. He's not that much older, though they would think so. Lol. I'm really laughing here because I have a much, much younger partner who is very into the fashion of the "old" torn jeans whereas I can't be. So we tease each other much like this. Thanks again, Gary, for this wonderfully beautiful story. So pleased you decided to write, and can't believe this is your first attempt.

Thanks, Gary, for story and concern. Reading this chapter made me feel a whole heap better and cheered me up no end. Nate & Bodie are going to make a great pair and they'll keep the Uncles pretty much on their toes too. Sounds like the neighbours are going to be great. Can't wait for the move. I think Nate might end up staying with Bodie until they move, for the convenience of school. That'll send them into orbit! Thanks again for this great story.

Sorry. Not up to making the usual comment. Good chapter. Wish I could take it all in better. Thanks.

I just had the feeling this was going to happen so I'm a bit like Nate now, throwing fists into the air and shouting agreement! Fantastic. The KenMik family expands! Yeah! Go! Go! Go! More tears! But I love that too! A good cry for the best reasons! Thanks, Gary! You rock! You rock! You rock!

Sometimes one wants more than just a "like". It's just not adequate! Lol! You had me in tears - as usual - through most of the chapter. God I just so much fucking love this story. It really gets to me, the joy of it, the beauty of it, the love in it, the goodness of it. KenMik are my heroes through and through. Thanks so much, Gary, for creating them and this beautiful story. And Nate! What a champ he is! Love him to bits! The glimpse of the house was a treat too. Love that place! And not forgetting Grams and Gramps. Such treasures! I know some folk just like them, though not sure where they stand on the gay thing, but I picture them so much when I'm reading this story.

Gut wrenching stuff! Nate is amazingly mature, but I guess that often happens to gay youngsters. He said he had wrestled with this for three years. One does a lot of growing up in three years of struggling. And Mark messed up big time, but seems he's coming round to sense. He and Megan will get back on track and get their family back again; though it will be hard for Nate to do that. He wants to stay safe in this home and amongst those who haven't hurt him. It's going to take quite a bit for him to feel safe with his dad again. I can understand him not wanting to go back. Such a great story, Gary. Thanks.

What a beautiful, wonderful man Kendall is! What an Unc! Nate is so blessed to have him as Unc. I spend my time wiping tears and trying to read through them! No matter what Mark does, Nate is now so safe with his uncles and his Gram and Gramps. Lucky lad to have such a family and such great gay uncs who will be his gay heroes. What a way to go! God I love this story. Thanks so, so much, Gary.

More tears! You sure know how to bring them on, both the happy ones and the sad ones. Poor Nate. My heart went out to him with Michael and Kendall's hearts. Seems the family is growing sooner than expected! Wow! Though this is sad, it could be the best thing that ever happened to Nate. The wedding plans are fun and Arron and Chet are great. Love them to bits.

So, we finally got there! And it was good. Worth the wait. Well done! Really another high in their relationship. Thank you!

And there you go doing it again and getting us all gooey and mushy. I love it! Thanks for a great read and the confirmation of the son. Guess he has daddy's equipment so it would be pretty obvious. Lol! Surprised they didn't comment on that. Candy is really making a great place for Kendall to participate, though quite unwittingly I suppose. Nevertheless, it's great for Kendall. Michael seems to be much of the same feeling as Candy, that the less they see of each other the better, and it's perfectly understandable from both points of view. The dinner, the roses, the attention, the rings! It's all so good! Will there be a honeymoon? Have to be short so they back for the birth. So many good things still to come. Looking forward to it all because you do such a damn fine job. Thanks again.

Oh Wow! You did it again! Surpassingly romantic! So fucking beautiful! And yes, another teary chapter, but all for the right reasons. Damn, Gary! You so good!

You had me in tears over the special tree decorations. Michael has done the perfect thing. He is amazing. They both are. And the contrast for them and for Jeremy is just too much. Poor Jere. Hope he finds someone soon. Great chapter, again! You so good, Gary! Thank you for a great read.

So much in this chapter, and all good. Redeemed Candy?! Saints now is it?! Room cleaned, car repaired, prescription filled! OMG! Candy even recognising that they will make great dads!!!! And the granddads to be! Family values and all. You doing such a good job to redeem us gay folk. Well done, Gary! I love it!
