As I left my apartment to walk to work, I wasn’t a happy man. For 30 years I’ve tolerated the polluted atmosphere, honking taxis and crowded sidewalks of New York City. Saying good morning to the concierge, I approached the door, not really wanting to open it. The sidewalk was crowded, not only did I have to put up with the people, it started to rain. Now open umbrellas were bumping into my head as people ran to their destination. Taxis were speeding with full loads, it appeared like a stampede.

This is a love story, where age doesn't matter
-
I didn't say that.

Thank you for commenting on this story. I hope you will like the next story
-
Awww You have to wait till tonight. But I'll give you a clue, it won't be as dramatic. I need a break, so this is more like a love tale.
-
I agree with you. There are two many young people who are homeless or who don't have a family to love them.
-
Thanks for the comment. I'll have a new story tonight

Elly is short for Elliot, which is Butch's given name. I'll think about Andy

You're welcome. I thank you for reading my story and commenting.

Yes I have a new one ready. I'll post tonight

Chuckling, I will be posting a new story, but it'll be quite different. Pete, Jimmy and the boys need to be left alone so they may continue to live their lives, without Paul and any others interfering . Pete thanked me for getting the message out there. He has assured me that he and Jimmy will make sure the boys are loved and happy.

certainement, mon ami. I'm glad you enjoyed this story. And what you say is true, you do reap what you sow.

They are, Bobby was the key for Pete. He realized the joy a young child could bring to his life. The Butch, er Elly, opened Pete's heart again. Alex, was family, but Pete accepted him. Jimmy backed Pete all the way. As Pete said, Jimmy came from a big family. He had a lot of love to give. Thanks for reading and commenting

Thanks, you have summed up the theme of this story very well. No matter what a family has to deal with, love is the glue that will hold them together.

With Alex driving, we reached Orlando in four days. We had stopped at two of their historical selections. When we approached Orlando, the kids were excited, and truth be told, so were Jimmy and I. Checking into the Disney Swan Hotel, the kids were anxious to go to the parks. I looked at Jimmy, “Pete, let’s drop off our luggage and head for the parks.” “Ok, boys which park do you want to visit first?” As if rehearsed, ‘Magic Kingdom’. I looked at Jimmy, he was smiling, nodding his hea

I'm glad you have liked my story

For Butch, er Elly, this was his first and for him everything was exciting. As usual, with one excited they all soon became excited

It wasn't meant to demean men crying, it was his way of saying ,"Buck up, if they don't want us, that's there problem. Not ours. Put a smile on your face, they can't hurt us"

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed my writing.

I visited Disney for the first time in 1974. I bought a red Disney jacket, which I still have and wear.

Yes and for Elly, it was an eye opener.
-
Yes, and the best part the boys planned it. Pete and Jimmy are going along for the ride, drivers and bankers.

I'm glad this story has brought you happy memories.
