I enjoyed this story very much. Devon can’t help feeling boxed in by the numbing routine. Fortunately, Fabian listened and acted. But maybe Fabian should help Devon get a large notebook so he can record his fantasies and write a novel. I bet it would sell a zillion copies.
It’s unfortunate but true that doctors can overlook something or shut off important avenues of inquiry due to preconceptions. None of us are immune to such blindness. Davey’s going to get well because one person had a different conditioning. Thank you...
And now they are three. Tad will be stronger for their combining, and so will Nate and Chris. As they are the ones to support Tad, so much the better. You write the part of Miranda as avenging sister very well. I wouldn’t want to be on her bad side. Kent and Stanley exploring their wants, needs and relationship together was a lovely interlude. A great chapter.
Thank you, Gary, for picking up on those warm waking moments in the night when one is deeply aware of love and hope. You’re most kind in your comments. I’m glad you liked these.
You and I share these experiences, though our neighborhoods and roofs were different. I’m glad I could bring them back to you, too. Thank you so very much for reading these and letting me know what you thought.Thank you so very much for reading these and letting me know what you thought.
I can well imagine your characterization of rain’s interaction with night. But it has been gentle here, though quite persistent. Thanks so much for reading these, and for taking time to comment.
Fireflies - and yes, I called them lighting bugs, too - fascinate me. I could spend a whole night watching a field full of them. You are so very kind to comment on these little summer scenes. I'm very grateful.
This makes me so very sad. It amazes me how awful people can be. I understand people fall out of love, but how can one fall so far away from one's own children?
