Such a beautifully expressed poem Mike. Very well done..

This reminded me of everything I love and missed about these four young men and their friends. I loved it Parker...

More than the kiss, which was very awwww..., this is what I've been waiting for. For Bailey to finally open up and let go of some of that load he's been carrying. The trust is building between he two. Declan might be giving him a different perspective about his mom too, and that can only be a good thing. With Chris and Eric gone, the team can be just that again.. a team. Eddie and Tripp can choose to fall I. Line or not.. I can't wait to see how the rest goes. Excellent chapter Mom!! Thank you...

Every time Jackson turns a corner something seems to want to muck it up.. it is consistent however, of teenage angst and growing pains.. I feel for Toby. It's hard to reconcile What's going on with his mom. I hope there's a good reason why it took her so long to reach out to Toby.. Ally should not be so surprised that Jackson doesn't want her to hurt Luke because for so long that's who she was. At least that's who we saw. But I am happy if she's changed too. Coach is a great guy. I continue to love Jackson and his mom's relationship now. Thank you for another great chapter Krista.. I look forward to seeing how things move along.

So very relieved that Andy is ready.. Turning point maybe? Another wonderful chapter!

Too good! If that's even possible. I'm taking dugh's stance.. not speculating, cause I will spiral!! Great Adi!

Well, that was a chapter. The emotions are palpable and made me feel for Don and Louis. The roles have changed and it's more than an adjustment for these two. Getting used to life in a wheelchair, the changes in his body. That's plenty to deal with. They can't even begin to think of a fulfilling sex life if the intimacy isn't there. At least we know they both want to get there and Don suggesting therapy is a great start. Even then it probably will be challenging. With both lives changed, hopefully they will come to realise that their life doesn't have to end because of this.. Great chapter tim...

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Cia..

🎉Happy Birthday to you🎉

I might be a little verklempt... It was a perfect ending. Thank you Lit, for sharing another wonderful story with us... It has been an amazing ride..

A good spice makes all things nice.. Thank you for enhancing my palate...

Don't know whether it's a good or bad thing my maths teacher didn't use your methods.. She was an old bitty nun in an all girls school. Although..... Very cool, and well done, as usual Parker..

I hope Declan blows off school. I mean it would be for a good reason even if he got written up or something. I also hope he clues in to Bailey.. Bailey needs someone to trust and I think he's almost there with Dec.. Progress.. Somehow I think that Eric and Chris especially still pose a threat... Chris seems the type to not know when he's beat.. @JeffreyL it's not just your gender.. Girls fall into a pecking order too. I see it as young as five, and had to deal with the blowback with my nephew and the queen bee in 7th grade.. He is all about sports and she promised him that no other girl would talk to him because he wouldn't 'go out' with her.. This became a thing. They are frikkin 12.. Anyway, I suppose it's how you harness leadership qualities in your kids, maybe?

It's a tough situation. I don't think anyone can fairly pick a side. Marcus has to decide if it's worth waiting for Andy to come to terms with accepting who he is. Andy has to really ask himself if he's being fair to Marcus at this point, while warring with him self.. There needs to be serious conversation with the two..

Aww, Galen.. Isn't it sad that there are doctors who even knowing the situation, won't even make a house call for an initial assessment? Hopefully Dr. Snowden will be the breakthrough that he needs. That and more time with Buck. And Josh can't forget he needs looking after too.. Good chapter Val..

🎉 A very happy birthday you you Caz!! Hope your day is as wonderful as you are!! 🎉 🥂much love..💕💕

I first read this with sleepy eyes, but a second read and Miriam really did happen.. If what Louis suspects is true or even not, then she found some bad religion.. These places are so dangerous.. Beyond that, Miriam is horrible human being. The first thing she does after seeing her brother in the hospital after a near death accident is attack him on being gay? Then his husband? How do you not set your agenda aside to appreciate his life... Sounds a lot like she threatened Louis too, so I'd not count her out just yet.. Ugliness aside, Louis' memories of his Gran made me smile and all warm inside... She was awesome for her friend Terence as she was for Louis. Loved that. Thank you for another great chapter tim.. Till next week..

Last week a man literally got out of his car to stop other drivers so a duck and her babies could safely cross a very busy street. It was nice to see, but the honking from other drivers...

You tell it, and it's beautiful to envision.. nicely done tim.

I think we'll need to end all remaining chapters with a cheep!! 🐥

While Liam is being lovingly unwrapped, I'll just focus on other things. Bryce's talk with Alek was sweet. I like Bryce. He his sensitive and vulnerable and while I hope he doesn't lose his 'wild' side, I hope he gains confidence enough to not hide behind it. Bryce and Nathan. It's obvious that Nathan is interested, but he needs to be a little less.... Nathan? They do need that time to connect and talk though. I can wait for BK 3. Lovely chapter Lit!!

🥂🍾CHEERS!!!! I feel their happy!!

♥️ A couple of these lines will linger. Beautiful tim. xo

Another wonderful and sweet memory Drew. Great details taking us right there with you. My dog used to pace during thunderstorms and hide when there were fireworks.

Somehow I missed this Drew, but what a lovely memory!! <3
