This blog is really helpful for anyone with a concern over diabetes, blood sugar and healthy eating. I’m grateful for it. And as for the restaurant idea, you may definitely be onto something there...

I found your comment this morning, and I am deeply moved you should have read Andy’s journal so many times. Your words of encouragement are most generous. I Andy and Zander stay with you, even as they continue to inhabit my own mind. They appear again in a three-chapter piece posted last summer, A Fall Observation. There, they meet characters from SkinnyDragon’s story of another troubled teen. Again, please accept my thanks for reading A to Z, and for your comments.

I can relate to both Eric and Andy so well. You bring them both to vivid life in this chapter.

Over The Rainbow • Part IV
Parker Owens commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Over The Rainbow • Part IV
I enjoyed this chapter immensely. Each section an incremental step in the lives of people we’ve come to know and love. But I can’t imagine Ozzie as Bridezilla. So convince me... -
The voice of uncertainty, of fear and apprehension, comes through hear so clearly and poignantly. This poem defines the phrase twisting slowly in the wind. This was incredibly well done.

The song you sing is infinitely sad, and far too familiar. You sing it beautifully and evocatively, full of life and imagery. But it is sad enough for tears.

Thank you for reading Andy’s journal. I appreciate it.

Thank you for commenting, and more importantly, for reading this story. Survival stories are often as harsh as you say. But there was something irresistible about writing this one. Thank you for reading Andy’s journal. I’m very glad you did.

This was such fun to see our boys at play in the grocery, in bed, and possibly later on, in the garden. Geoff had a scare, and Tony has begun to teach Geoff when and when not to worry. But I hope Tony realizes how nice it is to have someone to worry once in a while. Now if only that pesky interview with Geoff’s mum weren’t such a black cloud on the horizon....

Great science fiction; so much future, but just enough present to make it convincing that this could be true one day. Love the planet name “Ichor.” And the ending is wonderful.

Carlos convinced me. The story kept me; this is a fun episode on a party planet. The whole cosmic order seems so much the same, and yet so different - a mark of a good sci-fi story. I enjoyed it, and I hope you do, too.

Thank you, Emi. Most people think of love as the river, not its banks or rocks or definition. It was fun to see it differently. Your comments made me smile.

Thank you for sharing this. It is deeply felt, utterly genuine. It is a grief that someone caused you pain. As @dughlas said, you help us see past the wall of hurt into a better place. And I completely agree with @Mikiesboy : do join Live-Poets as a great place to share and comment. Thanks again.

@knotme your point is well taken. Your note illuminates most of the blind alleys and overly traveled streets to which I referred. There may be more story, but it I cannot be sure what it might be.

This is such a wonderful story for the day today. Morcant finally discovers that sacrifice is of himself, within, of something so deeply ingrained he hardly grasps its presence. Perfect.
-
Thank you, Def. I’m glad you liked this. Happy Vakentines Day!
-
You have been observing my own thoughts, too. There are many well trafficked avenues and blind alleys for this story to run down. But it is worth searching the map for a path less often taken...
-
You are most welcome. Happy Valentines Day! I am very glad you read and enjoyed this poem.

Oh gosh, your words left me heartstopped for a moment. You ask questions that are the very incense of sadness. Is night falling for these two, or are their shadows shifting under the clouds? How I love the way you put it: neither man walked in beauty. And it seems harsh to realize neither man has a way home - not to any true home, at least. That is the core of this tragedy. It isn’t unique, but it is theirs. I am humbled and grateful for your kind words of encouragement; that you were not conscious of the word limit (as I was) has me smiling.

Thank you; your kind words made me smile. I am glad you liked this.

And to you, too, jp. Thank you for taking the time to read and reflect on this.
-
Thank you, my friend. Your help made it far stronger.
-
Let me hope that the rain will be a warm one. Thank you, Dugh, for reading this and for your comments.
-
Thank you, dear Val. And Happy Valentines Day to you, also.
-
Thank you very much. You make me smile.
