Wyatt woke up - Yay! I think Bryan realized Wyatt doesn't hate or blame him for what MD did. That being said, it's another thing entirely that Bryan hasn't forgiven himself. He obviously bears no blame, but he feels it just the same. Even in death, MD is causing trouble. This is one instance where I think it would have been better she had lived. Then, at least Bryan would have somewhere to vent the anger and horror. I fully expect that Wyatt will set me straight and assuage his misdirected feelings of guilt. Regarding what to do about the plantation. Early on my thoughts centred on selling it and ridding it from their lives. After reading drp' comment, I got to thinking. I can't recall if it was mentioned before, but is the plantation a family legacy through Foxgrove Sr. rather than via MD's family? If yes, maybe Bryan and Eddie should keep it to honour their father since he obviously loved both his sons in equal measure? Sarah and Sgt. Woods - very sweet and it was nice that Bryan noticed and approved. But then, what's not to like? As for Darrin? Maybe he has smartened up, but I still say, don't let the door hit you on the way out! As always, nicely done CM.

My brother and his family live near Boston so I remember from their updates, how severe the winter was. Thank you for helping those two men. I'm sure they appreciated your kindness and generosity beyond measure.

Tim I wish the men who did this could read your words and feel shame, but I'm also certain that would never happen. Even though you made me cry, I was heartened in the end reading your words that to me, are filled with compassion and caring. :heart:

Thanks for the link

Sounds amazing. All I can see is a hazy pink sliver of the moon due to cloud cover. Ah well, there's still time, maybe they will move away...

They are diabolical little buggers, no question about it.

I saw that story too. Unbelievable what some people will do...

Wonderfully written story Parker. I enjoyed it very much. Please keep writing

I had full blue skies earlier, but the clouds are rolling in. I hope it clears as I have a perfect view of the moon on clear nights. If you could take a photo that would be great.

Happy Birthday Paul Go Blue Jays!

Hey Tim: Thank you for sharing your love story. It's not a surprise, but your skills as a writer brought it to life so we could "see" it too. I wish both you and Michael the very best.

Col's illness is still a mystery, but on the bright side, it looks as if he's found himself a real sweetheart. It would be nice to see more of these two.

Ok, so I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was confused. I remember doing the review for this the first time round. I like it just as much this time too - I'm just not going to google the lyrics again. and, I am yet again, out of likes

I'm with Caz in that Drew and Victor very wisely and accurately reviewed chapter 42, so I will just add in a few thoughts of my own Having been through it himself, it must have been quite the deja vu moment for Kendall. I was really pleased (but not in the least bit surprised) with how well Kendall approached Nate's situation. He made it easy for Nate to feel safe and secure enough to say what's on him mind with interjects of laughter to soften the "blows" he's had to deal with. I do believe Nate when he says his father did not hit him, but that is not enough to negate everything else his father did. As for Mike, Big Mike and Colleen, they are all doers so I am sure not doing anything right now must be very difficult for all of them. I have faith in them that they will hold back anything negative as they put Nate's needs ahead of their own. I eagerly await the next chapter to find out what happens next. I will wait patiently for it's release. No nagging, I promise. As always, a wonderful chapter. Thank you Gary.

Out of likes, so will do that later - for now :heart: After Parker's amazing review , I'm not sure what to say. I'm just so glad it's all over and the threat (MD) is gone so that everyone can start putting all of that horridness behind them. It's going to take a lot of time and effort to heal from her machinations, but I do believe they will be able to move forward and be happy. I too like the close father-son bond that is evident between Nathan and Marc. I see Bryan, Eddie and their dad having the same sort of relationship as N and M. Quite the juxtaposition against MD, Bryan and Eddie's relationship. As always, another wonderful chapter CM. Thank you.

Love it! Reminds me of the guy (dark hair, business suit and so not my type lol) that my mind and eyes used to radar in on every morning when I used to commute by Go Train. Didn't matter if the platform was crowded, I saw him easily. There was just something about him. But I was too shy to say "hi". Thanks for the memory Tim (I haven't seen him since 2003).

Poor Ian. Sometimes I want to hug him and tell him everything is going to be okay. Other times, I want to give him a good shake and tell him to get a grip. Luckily, the former wins out more often than the latter. Keep them coming sd, Ian and Miles are delightful.

Quick and dirty you say? Um, no Sweet and romantic? Absolutely yes! So glad the plot bunny won this round

Age truly is just a number.... http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/24/asia/japan-centenarian-sprint-record/?iid=ob_homepage_deskrecommended_pool&iref=obinsite

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MrM!!!

Well, that was a treat getting to chapters in one week. My first thought is Cesar and Brett need to go on a date. Not a lunch out, but a date! Their mojo is broken and they need to get it back, ASAP. Dragon and King - I guess we shouldn't be too surprised that they crashed. I just hope they can fix their relationship...time, distance, talking, and a lot of grovelling on Dragon's part will tell. It was a bit of deja vu, what with the boys meeting (at least some of) the Eight at Danno's for lunch - just like CJ did in Summer. And speaking of CJ, what an awesome tour of Chicago. I know people who go to Chicago annually for a conference and they never once toured the submarine or anything else interesting - I know because I processed the receipts I never wanted to go myself, but now I do and guess where I will be going? I think too, I am happy with the way things turned out for CJ and Orlando. Orlando being older could have taken advantage of CJ, but he didn't and that resulted in a good first time experience for our boy. Now, as for next week...I read your comments to Daddy D about "getting by", but I don't believe that for a second. Whatever happens next week will be more than just "getting by" I am sure of that! As always, thanks for a great chapter Carlos.

So happy to see MD get her just desserts! It is poetic justice, I think, that she met her end in that basement. My hope is that she is stuck there for eternity - going to Hell is to good for her. Eddie, such a sweet soul, it is so awful what MD put him through. Bryan, Wyatt, and Eddie have a long road ahead of them as they deal with the aftermath of MD's treachery. I think the fallout will be immense and their journeys will be different and yet, they will be the same. One thing I am sure of, they will be there for each other. With MD dead, some questions may go unanswered...Like did "Papa" really die by accident? Awesome chapter CM. Thank you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!

Growing up and getting past "the past" isn't always easy. But letting go, looking ahead and not back will set you free. Damn, didn't mean to turn this into a into a cliche, sorry about that. What was said and what you wrote, holds a lot of truth. Well done and don't stop writing. We appreciate your talent.

Tim You truly are a gifted story teller. It doesn't matter if the tale is short or long, you always manage to convey so much. Your words make me stop and think about what is being said. Thank you for sharing them.
