Not that kinda 'fixed'! ***** I know that's not what you meant, but it gave me a good chuckle...and you know what they say about endorphins flowing. I am very very happy to hear that a "fix" is finally on your horizon. Good luck to you my friend and I hope your recovery is uneventful and quick. :hug:

Hey tim With every chapter I read I find myself liking and caring about Dave, Jae, Barry and his sons more than I did before. I don't know what's going to happen with Sam's group but, it looks promising at this point. Now if only the marauders change course...perhaps a fallen forest or a raging river to block their path? Keep up the good work tim.

There are feelings, messages, lessons to be learned and more in all of your poetry. Thank you for sharing them with us. As always, nicely done tim.

Hero who paid to return stranger's dog rewarded for generosity

Just when I thought Jason had dodged the bullet named Luc.... I'm sure that he and Corey will get past that incident, but it's going to be a rocky road, I fear. Sad for the both of them.

Happy Birthday!!

For CJ's sake, I'm glad the stepfather didn't report that soldier. I wonder, will he will ever realize the precarious position he put himself in by that inaction?

Nice start Carlos. CJ's very lucky to have Cesar and Brett in his corner.

The family bond is alive and well and very expertly showcased in the birthday call to Brett. Follow up that up with the fun time at the game and all those touristy visits (had a lot to look up this chapter, but no worries, it was all very interesting). That ending with Liz though, a little concerning maybe...

It seems strange that I didn't notice it before - I've read this chapter a few times now - but tonight something occurred to me. While CJ's decision at the end to abstain from drinking - and to be aware of what is going on around him - is an important moment is his path to growing up, there is also an important moment for Owen at the beginning of the chapter. Owen's internal thoughts may not have come from the same place as CJ's , but they were important nonetheless. As in CJ's case, he is growing up and seeing the bigger picture before him. It's time to make adult decisions and leave childhood behind - and taking parental/grandparental wisdom with them as they go it on their own.

Happy Birthday!!

I'm joining the chorus, I too am nervous about what's about to come... Other than that, I really enjoyed Corey's visit with Pierre and David. Report Delete Unapprove

Oh boy, Sister bear is feeling the need to knock a knucklehead against a tree...

Hey tim Your words can be tough to read, but read them I will: -to show appreciation for your skill as a writer -to show support for you as a friend as you use words to slay what haunts you As always, nicely done

Nice chapter Lit. I really like how Jason and Corey mesh together perfectly. Add the icing on the cake that Jason's parents love Corey like son also leaves me with warm fuzzies for this family. No if only I didn't have this foreboding feeling that Luc is going to mess up Jason's trip.....

Hey tim Three chapters in and I'm liking this story very much. I have to admit, I was a little worried as to the direction the story was headed after reading about the band of bad guys, but it seems Samuel has a band of his own and they're all good men who want to dispatch the bad guys. At least I hope that's what they are - and not a bunch of wolves in sheeps clothing. You've painted a very believable picture of life after the past. For Dave and Jae and Barry and his sons, I hope that life continues for them. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Aww Gary, that was beautiful and I swear, I was sitting there watching this unfold. I even have the tears and big smile as proof. :heart: to you all.

YAY!!! and congrats my friend!!

Of that, I have no doubt! CM can be counted on to tell a great tale.

My vote is for Neko Part 3, but only when you're ready. As far as Falling Apart? Binge read here I come.. I thought I would wait this time and read your story all at once.

Comsie, you are an immensely talented writer. One of the first - if not the first - stories I read upon finding GA was My Only Escape. I admit to being disappointed that the story wasn't complete when I came to the final published chapter, but I got over that quickly and now patiently wait for the next Notification to come my way. When they come, they are an unexpected treat. I did see a comment from one reader that made me angry on your behalf - and others were too - that you were not writing/posting in a manner he/she felt you should. You are on no one's timetable but your own. Your stories are a gift and a privilege - not a right. I know it's not easy to shut out the negative stuff that comes your way, but just know that the positive far outweighs the negative. Of that I am sure - I guess we just need to tell you that more often, huh?

Happy Birthday!!
