Daddy and his little girl...so sweet http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3520229/Never-let-Heart-melting-video-shows-baby-pulling-dad-s-arms-hug-time-moves-away.html

Great chapter Tim! Loved it all...no surprise there, of course. Now if only the next chapter would hurry up and get here. *sigh* Oh wait, it will be here in less than 24 hours. Yay!

Delighted, just delighted this first day of Spring. The sun will shine, the flowers will bloom... Even the occasional "rain" shower won't be enough to dampen my enthusiasm. Okay, so was that corny or what? Oh boy, don't care leaving things as they are. Very glad the men and boys of CJ are back! Yay!!

The sun and its's bright shining does make things better, doesn't it? As always, nicely done.

What an extraordinary story. Thanks for sharing it with us Val.

I usually don't read the the other reviews before, I write mine, but I did happen to catch a little of tim's and it made me laugh. tim may not be up to hearing about house renos, but I loved it all. In fact, I want that house! You had me at the sage green batten and board (I even googled that term to get a clear picture of it in my head ) I loved all the explanations Craig put forth; liking that Jared and Alan just let him run with it. As for Carly, things do see to be improving don't they? However, I totally understand Craig's being leery of Carly's changed behaviour. She has a lot to make up for, so there needs to be quite a few "changes" on her part before her new attitude is to be believed. As for the changes to Jared and Craig's home Craig's quite the Domestic Goddess isn't he? Course, he did admit to having the gay designer gene, didn't he. As always, nicely done Gary

Hey tim What a terrific tale! I enjoyed it very much. As always, nicely done.

Telling it like it truly is...made me laugh and made me smile As always, nicely done.

Hey tim Getting the rhyming wrong is okay by me. Even though I read your intro (I like that you explain what you are doing by putting that in btw ), I didn't notice anything remiss. It was a smooth and easy read even if the subject matter was not. Your subject matter is compelling and it brings out a need in me to hug your protagonist...to have the power to set him free from all that pains him. As always, nicely done.

Do you stay up late playing video games? Ethan did. The result? He saved lives. Of note, this will be my 3000th post so I decided to celebrate this milestone with some good news! http://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/11-year-old-boy-up-late-playing-video-games-saves-family-from-house-fire

Nicely put Carlos.

Hey tim Loneliness, happiness, anger, sadness, hurt and anguish...this poem runs the gamut of emotions. Wow... As always, nicely done.

This review is going to be short and sweet. You've done it again Gary giving your readers a real treat of a read. Thank you. Oh, as always, nicely done.

One thing I'm seeing as Craig and Jared weather their ups and downs is that, no matter what, they won't quit on each other. They still have issues that erupt in anger and/or fear, but it will never be enough to end what is only just starting. I know that their love for each other has a lot to do with never giving up, but I think too, that because they actually talk to each other and communicate they will always be able to resolve any issue that comes between them. That and being able to lean on each other and accept each other's help is going to go a long way to making these two survive and thrive as a couple. As always, nicely done Gary.

Hey tim A lot has been said about the Tait, Phil and Sean by the reviewers before me so I won't repeat their words. I will say I enjoyed this story very much and am sad to see it end - just when Tait and Phil are getting together. You have left us with the knowledge that all is going to right with their world so, I guess that will have to do. Two points I would like to mention. First, I realize Phil could not have guaranteed the timing, but I did appreciate how Phil herded Sean toward the door just as the police were arriving. Happenstance or by design? Or a little bit of both, perhaps? Second, thank you for giving Leo an HEA as well. Leo is one of Tait's rocks so being a happy rock can only make his life, and Tait's by extension, better. Not to mention that Steven has become a good and true friend to Tait. Shows just how wrong Sean was about Tait's value as a person. As always, nicely done.

oops, could get the video to work

New family, new friends....Patrick's world is getting bigger and better with this lot in his life. Moster Grethe is a lovely woman and I can see her filling one of the hole's in Patrick's heart quite easily.

Hi Tim I'm very late with this review - seeing as how the next chapter is tomorrow. so I will make this quick. I love how the relationships (man-man, man-child) are progressing. It is such a treat to read because it is so full of "feel good happy" moments. It never fails to make me smile. Keep it up, will you?

Hey tim That was not an easy chapter to read, but it showcased an important step in Tait's recovery and the reclaiming of his life. I understand Tait's desire to "take the path of least resistance" - I'm guilty of that trait myself - as it were regarding what he was asking for in the divorce proceedings. In this instance, however, his lawyers - and thank goodness he met with both at the same time - are correct in the approach of not making any concessions where Sean is concerned. He did something very wrong and there can be no wiggle room for things to go in his favour. As for Tait and Phil's budding love for each other. I'm thinking the timing is finally right for them to get together and I'm not sure that could have been said for them earlier in their relationship. As always, nicely done.

I guess it's time to admit Winter is over. Never thought I would want to prolong that season that's for sure, but I digress. I'm here to put in my two nickels...since I already put in my two (or three) cents in in the forum. First, CJ and Ritchie. Love those two together. I also love that Ritchie, despite the attitudes of his parents, is a sweet, lovable and very accepting kid. The entire chapter was great and has me looking forward with eager anticipation to the coming Spring. PS: Oh yeah, About that ending...Carlos!!

Happy Birthday!!

Hey tim I Liked this. I know you are a talented writer so I am not "amazed" by what you have written. I do, however, appreciate how capably you tell a complex story in four short stanzas. As always, nicely done.

I love how Jared and Craig are so in sync when it comes to so many facets of their lives. It's as if they were meant to be together. Bailey was cute the way she agreed with everything Jared and Craig said. She certainly, doesn't have Carly's disposition, that's for sure. As always, nicely done Gary. Thank you.

Happy 3.14 Day!!
