A wonderful and sensitive portrayal of loss and comfort that is borne of love. Eager to see how this develops.

And so it happens: small towns that relied on factories become ghost towns when products can be bought cheaper elsewhere. The town I grew up in was full of glass factories (there were 6 at one time!) and lots of coal mining. Now...no factories, coal production is practically nil, young people have left, and the town looks like something out of a war zone! There is still some business, but the tax basis does not allow for upgrading the City anymore. I left a long time ago as I knew what the future would look like in a few years after I did leave. I love my new home and totally enjoyed the job I was able from which to retire. It makes me sad to know that all I have left of my childhood home is memories. Such a well-written story!

I got to this late today. So...anything I have to say would be repetitive. It is always good to look forward to CJ, et al, on Friday! Thanks.

Moments of grief do serve as encouragement to be close to others who count.

I hope this story goes the way I think it will. I have a feeling that if Blake accepts to stay at Aric's for the weekend, by the time Aric's parents get home, he will be able to explain Blake's presence. And, if the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, they parents will be more than accepting. Of course, there is the reality of who Blake really is and what his circumstances are, the legal issues, etc. Let's see how it goes...more chapters, please!

It is many years after this setting that there became an understanding of the Autism spectrum. Albie certainly has those characteristics. You have given him humanity in your depiction. Well done! Still loving this story! Tony

And so the circle of life carries on. First one of the generation to go. Few like to talk about mortality, especially their own, but it's a reality we all must face and prepare for if we can. You know I love this story - have done so from the first chapter. Again, thanks for sharing it!

Sounds like a major confrontation is going to take place with Madame Ambassador's voice going to be quite pointed! Northman might do well to invest in some Depends! The reception went off beautifully. I do believe the passage about Lupe looking at the floor reflects more on her showing deference/respect to the First Lady than jealousy towards Liebe. Great chapter, Carlos!

An intense story: what has brought Gavin to this point of becoming a rent boy? My heart breaks for him. I want to reach out to help him. Such is the power you have created through your marvelous writing!

Sorry to disagree, Joh, but this chapter was not boring but rather informative and a bit insightful. It was a good setup for what's to come.

Chapter 156 The Scarlet Pimpernel
pvtguy commented on Dodger's story chapter in Chapter 156 The Scarlet Pimpernel
I didn't say it was impossible for them - but most difficult. I, too, have a great deal of experience with young parents and have seen both successful and very sad situations. Robbie is maturing, that is for sure! Stephanie has an apparently very supportive family. For sure, Sue would be a wonderful grandmother - but Don? Sorry...I may the the curmudgeon in this case, but I see too many red flags. That is not to say that they wouldn't love the child...but as it stands, there are a lot of obstacles int he way at the moment. -
Chapter 156 The Scarlet Pimpernel
pvtguy commented on Dodger's story chapter in Chapter 156 The Scarlet Pimpernel
Sorry to disagree, but they both are too young and naive to be able to be good and responsible parents without help from a lot of people. Unfortunately, Robbie doesn't have any positive family experience with which to draw any experience from. He's definitely not old enough yet to handle this alone or with Stephanie. -
Chapter 156 The Scarlet Pimpernel

Robbie is definitely maturing. He knows what the lack of a father in a child's life is like and I do believe he now may want to have some role in the baby's life. May Don fall overboard! -
Ok...so I'm late to the game. I just read this entire story in one sitting, which was rather nice not having to wait for the posting of each chapter. I loved it. As to the questions about who was/were gay - not every story has to have erotic scenes. Gays also have lives outside their sex lives! I guessed that is why Austin was not accepted by the mean uncle and aunt. But he has grown quickly through the traumas endured. I'm always amazed, though, at these types of stories where parents die in an accident, but the kid/s are left with a quite sizable trust. My family never left me with anything more than memories...

Sounds like the town I grew up in full of factories. Now that they have all gone and a highway was build through it, plus all the shopping and restaurant moving to malls a short distance away, beautiful buildings have been abandoned over the years and there are now a lot of parking lots! Kids went to college, many moved away, and some stayed and have tried to make it while remembering the good old days. As for the families, reunions do bring them back, but even they are getting less frequent. Thank you for sharing this story once again. It is such a walk down memory lane for me who grew up in the 50's.

What a wonderful chapter! The dinner party was quite interesting and I enjoyed viewing it as though a fly on the wall! Poor Jurgen needs a good lay with him being a sub, lol! That might loosen him up, though I doubt it! And, as always, I enjoyed the final conversation between Owen and CJ. Delightful!

Good setup. Will the kid make another appearance? Will Damon check up on him? Or does he go to foster care? I hope the father gets his own 6 by 9 "room" with only an hour a day to walk a tiny space for exercise. Not being vindictive, am I?
-
Great start to a story! Can't wait to see the development!
-
What fun a family reunion like that would be! Though I have many relatives on my father's side, I haven't seen them in many years - and haven't met some at all. A few have died. As for my mother's side, I am close with one cousin - and that's it! The country cooking alone would be worth the visit!
-
And the inter-office tension with Northman escalates, but CJ has developed quite the support system simply by being himself. I do believe Northman's days are numbered in his position. I loved that Home for Heroes was brought into this chapter! More good being spread in terms of concern for treatment of veterans after their active service has ended. Great chapter!

Where is that website?

I guess I am the latest to the party today...Loved all the comments. I was very pleasantly surprised to see another chapter posted. Hope that means that when this volume ends earlier than perhaps would have been if only posted weekly, that means the next volume will be published sooner! You are truly one gifted writer!

I'm ten years older than you both then...1948
-
I would bet I have you both beat in the age category - and I'll keep enjoying every day and keep adding them up. Those "drops" will soon fill the bucket...

Thanks for continuing the vicarious vacation! The circle of friends is expanding and drawing in some wonderful people. Happy New Year to you and yours! Tony F
