I would like to know about your people. I have been to Australia and made a pit stop in New Zealand. I am aware that your people are natives of New Zealand. A question, did your people come from Australia or other islands. I would like to go back to New Zealand for a little longer than a pit stop. Thanks for reading my story and answering my questions.

You"re welcome. This chapter wrote itself more or less. I'm glad you liked it. If you ever go to Rome, I'll give you Pietro's contact info.
-
Yes, and they will remain friends for a very long time.

Thanks. This was a hard chapter to write as I wanted to express Jeff's emotions. I thin k Jeff never realized how his earlier walk had saved Toby. He knew he had saved him, but never knew how close Toby came to jumping. Toby's confession that if Jeff had been a minute later, he wouldn't been here. I'm glad that you liked this chapter.

Sometimes event like this, gives an answer to are our lives guided. Yes, just a few minutes later and Toby would have been gone. What a waste of a good human being, if that had happened. I think there are a lot of young people that the Jeff's of this world never show up in time.

This chapter was very emotional if you get into it. Jeff really misses Clair, even with Toby and Ron. The boys help a little, but Clairf will always bring tears too Jeff's eyes

Thank you, I appreciate your comment.

The next morning I was awaken by someone knocking on my door. Putting on a robe, answering the door, there were two boys and Pietro. “Pietro, do me a favor and accompany the boys to the dining room for breakfast. I’ll be down as soon as I shower.” As I was showering I had flash backs to when Clair was here. It would take us forever to shower together, now 15 minutes or less and I was done. Dressed for the day, I headed down to breakfast. “Are you finished eating?” “No, they have sausages

That sounds great. You'll love Italy when you go there. I never made it to Greece, something I wanted to do and never had the time. Take notes, background for a story.
-
The time difference is the key. They took an overnight flight so if they land at 8 in the morning by their watch it is 2 in the afternoon in Italy. That always was a problem for me. I leaved at 6 pm, and 8 hour flight would get me in England at 2 am my time but in England it was 8 am, I was tired for bed, but I had the whole day for business. I couldn't sleep on the plane, so I wasn't running an all cylinders. The answer, I left a day before I was to meet, thinking I was smart. It was worse, arriving tired I went to bed. When I woke up, it was evening, that was okay, but when I would normally go to bed, I was still wide awake. It takes a day or two to reset your internal clock.
-
I hope you can. Call up the pictures and you will see what the boys see. 😀
-
I believe Jeff's goal is to fill Toby's mind and days with positive thoughts and experiences
-
you are welcome, I appreciate you reading my story
-
I really don't think you do, but you can, when traveling is opened again, go to Rome and I'll contact Pietro to pick you up 😉
-
I always was fascinated by returning to historical places. Imagine at 17 what you would do in Italy
-
Nah, there are no doozies in my chapters, there are mostly gay men, or men who help gays' just fooling around with you. 🤣 Thanks for the comments

Suicide is always the hardest on those left behind. Not only do you feel the loss, you also don't understand why and perhaps you feel a little guilt, not seeing it ahead of time and not being aware of their feelings. Suicide has more than one victim, I includes those who have been left behind with unanswered questions and a feeling of guilt

“Are you all packed? Ron, your mother will be here soon, so get any last minute items packed, if you haven't already.” That was a foolish question to ask, I think they repacked their suitcases at least three times. You could tell they were nervous, they must have paced back and forth at least 10 times before Ron’s mother pulled into our drive way. “Let’s go boys, get your suitcases.” Arriving at the airport, Ron’s mother gave him his passport, I had arranged with her to get him one when

Jeff will look upon the lake with a special love knowing Clair is there. Do you live in New Zealand? I am not sure the God of Weather would like to be used for floating
-
You are correct, there will be pain but also a sharing.
-
That is okay. You'll find in my stories the use of words a little 'out of the way' so to speak.
-
Yes, Jeff will feel the loss of Clair. Sometimes that can help to keep the memories alive. I'm sure there will be the feeling of loss for Jeff but maybe the enthusiasm of the boys will help.
-
And the tears from Uncle Jeff as his memories of his wife return. Visiting the places he and Clair enjoyed, will refresh his memory.
