    Freyja is aware of what her boys are doing. Roger has learned a few words and sign language helps a lot. She is kept busy, in her own way. Yes and his family will keep growing, in spirit if not in body

    Not as far as Roger is concerned, in his mind he is married

    Yes, it is unfortunate it took an accident for Roger to realize he needed first aid responder on staff

    Chapter 12

    I was feeling lonely and missing Jon. Every evening I would go to my spot and look out at the ocean, hoping to see Jon. I did this for ten days and was about to give up. I was beginning to believe something happened and Jon wasn’t coming back. Bobby came into my office, “Boss, You got to see this.” I followed him to the back of the hotel. Looking out at the ocean, there was Jon on the Drake pulling another boat. Bobby started to jump up and down, yelling. I saw Jerry grab Jon and said somet

    Chapter 10

    I met Joseph on one of my trips to Europe. I was sitting at a bar across from my hotel when he approached me. The bartender told him to leave me alone. That was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Joseph's family was from Turkey, according to the bartender. His family lived in the south and Joseph ran away from home. On my second trip to Europe, the bartender told me Joseph had died of AIDS

    You are right, it will take some time for a semblance of normality to return.

    Roger is out of his element in dealing with boys. Jon is comfortable with the sea, a natural split of responsibility

    Chapter 11

    It seemed like everything had settled down, and now I would have to wait until Jon returned. It didn’t happen, Mr. Burkett fell into the pool late at night, and by the time they got to him, he was beyond any help. I felt some responsibility for his death. When we built the pool, there was to be a fence around the pool, not high, but enough of a fence so that no one could wander into the pool at night when the lights were turned off. There was a problem getting the fence. The supplier had a back

    Chapter 10

    I would watch from the garden behind the hotel as Jon, and the boys cleared the beach of rubble and driftwood. They started to layout the area for the cabanas. I wondered about a pool. Over the next few weeks, I watched as the beach to the right of the cave began to take shape. They built a boardwalk from the cave to the area where the cabanas were being erected. Then I saw several of the boys digging out the sand in front of the cabanas. When I asked Jon, he said they were building a saltw
