    Chapter 4a

    You certainly have accurately described the tension in Andy. Having lived those same tensions, I am eager to see how Andy resolves them.

    Each chapter just adds to the overall excellence. CJ definitely needs to share the content of the tweets with his dads, unless we find out Brett has a way of discovering them. Perhaps that is why he wants to meet for lunch. I, too, can't wait for Friday mornings either. I'm already feeling the pains of withdrawal. How long will we have to wait for the next volume? As always, thanks for sharing your remarkable talent with us. Tony

    And the excellence continues! I like the development of Ozzie, his developing closeness to the dads, and his relationship with CJ. Patrick is maturing and his support by the larger family has allowed him to take this major step. Would that all kids in his situation had that support, as noted by CJ. Your balance of high drama and privacy is well done. Now, till next Friday! Tony
  4. It's been worth the wait. I like the progression that Geoff has made. Thanks, Carl. Tony

    Yes, the orange Teletubby comment certainly elicited a loud chuckle while reading. The explanation of the traditional wedding ceremony was also spot on. Yet, the tradition keeps happening. Carlos, you've created such a compelling story with engaging characters. Thanks over and over. Tony
  6. At last...I've been patiently waiting for the continuation of this story. I hope the next chapters follow more quickly (hint, hint). Thank you, Tim. Tony

    I could follow this story until CJ is 99! It's so full of warmth, love, humor, strong relationships and positive values. Thanks for continuing the journey, Carlos. Tony

    I love the political scenes. I hope it continues to the primaries... Great chapter, as usual, Carlos. I look forward to Fridays for another chapter. Tony
  9. I am so glad that this book doesn't end at the end of the year, but rather goes for several more chapters. This one was a warm respite from recent drama. Most enjoyable. You make me want to visit Miami and the locations noted! As for the format that came with this update to GA, it makes it more difficult for me to read as the print is so much smaller. I'll adapt or get stronger bifocals! Tony

    I was really hoping for an intervention. Now I want to see how it affects Brad going forward. I realize there is only one more chapter in this year. I hope the next one starts soon after. I miss the quiet when the boys are gone too! Thanks again, Carlos. Tony F

    Great job of describing the cultural differences between Australia and the U.S. While I would love to enjoy the Australian view - the gun culture is out of control in the U.S. - I do understand why guns are necessary even if I don't like it. As for the rest of the chapter, it is your usual excellence. Tony

    Mask of Stoicism

    I agree - a very intense chapter but the beginning of a fully honest relationship. As for handouts: droughtquake is overlooking a major point: many of the homeless have mental issues with no place to assist them. I don't pretend to know the solution, but I will readily give money or buy a meal for them. I can't be responsible for how some might use the money - that's on them. I can only be honest with myself and my own responsibility and conscience. I am thankful for the blessings that allow me to share.

    Wonderful chapter, Carlos. Rather than repeat what others have so eloquently stated, I will just say that among the highlights of this chapter was the statement to Mr. Rubio. I may borrow that line in my next email to him. Tony
  14. I have been drawn to this story from the first paragraph. This chapter finally allows Patrick to realize one family member with whom he can have a close relationship. I eagerly await the next chapter! Thank you, Tim, for continuing this story. Tony

    Chapter 18

    Superb!!! Thank you for sharing this with us. I truly look forward to your future writing. Tony

    Chapter 17

    While I wish that Peter could use the Lytons for slander, it probably wouldn't hold as they can claim they were acting on the welfare of the child. Great chapter. The next ones can't come fast enough. Tony
  17. Robbie is maturing and getting more comfortable with himself. You've created more intrigue and I will find it difficult to wait for the next chapter. Tony

    Chapter 16

    Wonderfully written chapter. As a former counselor and child advocate, I totally appreciate what the police are doing. However, the lawyer is very much needed to set the record straight. I do hope to see the grandparents brought before the judge. I see a turning point for Peter: he's moving from a selfish to a selfless view as he opens himself to loving the boys. I do believe Lisa needs to be brought up to date. She certainly is strong enough to let the police and court know her position. Hope the next chapter comes quickly! Tony
  19. Thank you so much for returning to this story. I am eager to continue it. Great chapter, by the way. Tony

    Chapter 15

    Another great chapter, Graeme. Others have noted the possibilities, but I'm sure you will also inject more intrigue. Tony

    Chapter 14

    As Steve says, most of this chapter is a repeat of 13. I'm eager to see what happens in the mediation. Tony
  22. What a brilliant description of hallucinations. Jerry is a fascinating character and you've captured his problems with great insight.

    Chapter 11

    You have very deftly shown the difficulty of being thrown in as guardians and the resulting doubts, worries, fears, and joys. The strain it inevitably places on a relationship is also described quite well. The boys have yet to fully grieve the death of their father and the plight of their mother. Throw in th he homophobic, rude Mrs. Lynton, and the drama only becomes more intense. I am eager to see the development of this story. Great job, Graeme. Tony
  24. I think this shows the lack of a father figure in Robbie's life to help him understand his normal growth. I am eager for him to deal with his new family and am really hoping for their understanding and acceptance. Would that Don really steps up for him! Tony

    American Land

    A most suitable ending for this phase. I look forward to the next volume. I will be most interested to see if CJ meets the political issues of today. Thanks for sharing your talents with us, Carlos. Tony
