    It will be the perfect gift for Tommy. It hurts when you are a young boy and the one reminder of your parents is gone. I know that Armand's heart ached for Tommy.

    Saturday morning, after breakfast, we went shopping., we had a son to clothe. Colin and I had a great time, under wear, pants, shirts, new shoes, socks, a jacket and a cap. Lunch was pizza, dressed in new clothes, we headed to the gallery to show grandmother. When we arrived, Thomas went to where his painting was hung. It wasn’t there. Walking into the office, Thomas was crying. “What’s wrong?” “His painting is gone.” “Yes, the artist sold it to an older couple.” “Thomas

    Thomas is a lovable young man. He looks up to Armand, I'm not sure if Armand realized that the time he spent with Thomas at the gallery and those walks for lunch was building a relationship with a young man.

    Thanks, Tony. Now you know that anything worth having, doesn't come easy. But the guys are willing to fight and fight hard. Between you and I, the road isn't smooth but they have a way around the pit holes.

    I like the way you think. I agree

    The State might not but there will be some narrow minded people who will try.

    If I know Armand it will happen one way or another

    Evidently, this orphanage isn't strict. There is no way Tommy could go to the gallery after school or any other time. Actually someone isn't doing their job in protecting Tommy. We are passed that point now that Tommy has met Armand. Armand will find out why Tommy isn't at the gallery. if he isn't there when he arrives.

    You are right. Although it isn't legal yet, in Tommy's eyes, it is legal.

    Some things are worth the fight. Tommy is one. I think Armand will do everything to adopt him.

    Arriving home at 3, we entered through the kitchen. I lost Carmella there. Continuing on up the stairs, I showed the newly weds the roof. “I’m going to go and get us coffees and then we can relax until I have to be downstairs.” Walking into the club’s kitchen, I saw Marcel making an apple pie. I knew the next time I would go to Italy, I’d have apple pie. I took a small pot of coffee, and a few tapas. Stopped at my apartment and picked up three cups and a small bottle of milk. I didn’t

    Reuniting friends after a long separation always brings changes. I wouldn't be surprised if Tony changes his mind about Armand painting a mural on his restaurant's wall.

    It seems Tony has relented concerning his feelings toward Armand. Thomas reminds me of a young boy that has a hero.

    Thanks, but in real life there is always some thing or some one to cause a problem. It's true for straight couples and definitely for gay couples.

    Drama in my stories? Never. In everyone's life there seems to be some thing from a ripple to a wave. Two gay men with a young boy is a situation just waiting to blow up.

    Is there ever smooth sailing? Life doesn't allow smooth sailing, They will be tested, count on it.

    The week with Carmella seemed to pass quickly. When the club was opened, I spent time at the bar and she spent time in the kitchen with Marcel. Every once in a while I could smell some Italian delicacy. That was when I slipped into the kitchen for a taste. Tony, Marie and Billy came to lunch on Sunday. Tony looked at the mural and soon Marie and Bobby joined him. He would point out something and tell a story about it. It usually started with, ‘when I was there’ or ‘when mom and I were there

    I hope you are right about the adoption I don't know who would be hurt more, Tommy or Armand

    I think you are right about Tony. I also think he will not get over his feelings until he visits the village and experience the change. Armand is concerned about prejudices against gey men adopting.

    I suspect Colin will look forward to adopting Tommy. I agree, I don't think he would go for a toddler.
  21. CLJobe

    Chapter 61

    Yes, I think the vote for adoption is 100 percent positive. Armand needs to understand Colin's position. I think if it is up to Armand he would adopt all of those kids in the orphanage. He knows that is impossible, but who knows what he is thinking.
  22. CLJobe

    Chapter 61

    That would be a good idea. Maybe when the go to visit Carmella, Colin can take photos of Tony's home in the village as well as some of Marie's friends. Most of the older people at that time are gone,

    I think I'd be bitter also if I was Tony. I think he overdid it when he saw the village.
  24. CLJobe

    Chapter 61

    Bitterness eats at you no matter where you are. Tony needs healing and that can only occur in the village. I think Armand would love nothing better than to adopt Tommy. But he won't do it unless Colin agrees.

    Chapter 61

    You are right about Tony. Enough time has past. I have a feeling if Armand wants to adopt Tommy, Colin will agree. in fact I believe anything Armand wants, Colin would agree.
