Good night DiCers. The sweetest of happy dreams when your time comes...

Good night Thorn... happy dreams

You probably did, and I’ve forgotten that bit, but I’m thinking along the lines of things have gone wrong and the bumps in the road have gotten bigger with this chapter. They say bad things come in threes, so I was thinking we’d (making this about readers and not poor Max, bad me...) he’d lose the planned visit with Louis being gone. Now, I think maybe not, it’ll just be a little different - I mean Rena needs to meet Max, doesn’t she? I’m going to stick my pessimism in the drawer, and hope for not so bad times next week. Edit: Oh wait, you said we would need tissues...

That was beautiful, Thorn.

Poor Max, so much to get used to and deal with. It hasn’t happened yet, but I can’t see him taking it well when Louis and Don don’t show up the following weekend. I mean, Louis will be with his parents (if something happends to his dad, what will his mood be like?), so unless Robert or Rena can drive the van, Don won’t be visiting either. I hope Max - wrongly, of course - won’t see this as a rejection regardless of the explanation he is given for their absence. Getting back to the current chapter, you’ve done it again, tim. Funny bits, sad bits, relationship tension (just a blip) but, as always, through it all it is evident Don and Louis have an unbreakable bond. Kind of like bulletproof glass. Things may hit it, but they’ll bounce right off. Louis’ mini melt down from Max’s “rejection“ really shows how invested he is in that boy’s present and future. And well, also that he’s a good person who wouldn’t want to cause someone else pain. Nicely done, tim. Wishing it was next week already...

Good morning and have a good day fellow denizens of the DiC. I’ve got some reading to do, so I’ll see you all later...

Yeah, Monday was bad. We just made it to my uncle’s funeral before the snow started. It was blizzarding by the end of the service, so we - like a lot of others - didn’t go back to the funeral home after, which made me sad for my cousins.

I was wondering how this story was going to end. For me, it was a giggle and a smile. For you, well, you explained it pretty well. I think I like this guy...

That happened with Word on my tablet. Makes commenting during beta reading a pain in the butt.

Good idea, Mac. I always knew you were smart.

So sorry for your loss. Lacey was a sweet and mischievous rascal who wowed us all with his kindness and his crafting skills.

Good morning everyone... The day started out rather bleak, but now the sky has cleared and it is sunny, so I’m thinking it will be a good day. I hope it will be that way for all of you. I’m going to finish my coffee, so I’ll see you laterz...

Reading this, a word came to mind. Oasis Because, as I ponder that word fully, what you describe here feels like an oasis. Nicely done, Mike.

Good night DiCers. The sweetest of happy dreams when your turn comes...

Good night molly...happy dreams

Yes, most weird. The downtown has disappeared a number of times, but north of the 401 not so much. Mind you, I do remember a foggy day, so foggy, I couldn’t see beyond my living room window. Now, that was something. It sounds like it’s raining, too.

Good night Thorn and BF...happy dreams

You made me look. Toronto is disappearing...

@MacGreg It saddens me to hear what sean experienced. He comes across as a real sweetheart. I can still see that pic of Pris lying in his charcoal covered hands, completely trusting and at ease.

Good afternoon everyone. Another lovely weather day, but I’m going to make it a good day anyway and I hope it is for you all as well. @Thorn Wilde I hope you feel better soon, and while this you cannot eat, may its subliminal massage help just the same...

No hug, just a gentle squeeze to your shoulder to show my support and then I’ll let you be.

Good night tim...sweet dreamz tonight and always xoxo

This is really informative and clarifying. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

Gonna nap for a bit. See you all laterz...

@mollyhousemouse I can still see the image in tim’s original post, but I’m not sure why.
