    Tear Tracks

    Thank you. These events occur far too regularly. Many factors are at work, certainly. But they grieve my soul.
  2. Nice story. Would love one day to see a little more...

    Goodbye Daddy

    How difficult a thing you did. It took incredible guts; I am in awe of you. This poem says so much about the man you are, and the abject soulless person who turned you out.
  4. Thank you for sharing this. It strikes a chord within.
  5. I enjoyed this. It may indeed be helpful to me.
  6. Adding my voice to Michael’s. I completely agree.

    Maple Drive

    This. Is. Fantastic. I am touched, teary and happy Adi might forgive himself. Beautifully told,

    4-10 - Unity

    You have made the mightiest tremble, and the exalted the humble. Beautifully done, and a wondrous tale.
  9. Something introspective:
  10. @AC Benus I loved this - it warmed the room, and kept time with the spatter of sleet on the windows.

    4-8 - Faith

    In such a short chapter, you say so much.
  12. Photos, precious seconds, moments of perfect light or gap toothed smiles, remind us of the joy and peace we held, like water cupped in the hand. Beautifully told, beautifully spoken.
  13. Again, such a meaty chapter. Talking with people you love about health decisions is huge and heavy. But CJ seems infinitely capable and able to handle that load. He even handles Ritchie with a deft touch. I wish I’d had a cool older brother like that! He connects well with Silas, though I disagree with CJ on the dog thing. Most of all, your final moment with Owen and CJ is perfectly drawn.
  14. This is beautiful, tim. Images stirred and voices recalled - you bring them to the front of our minds, that we may always remember. You impelled us to the mountaintop, line by line, step by step. Bravo.
  15. Can’t help wanting to give Geoff a gentle shake and a pep talk, but Tony seems to be far better at this than I ever could be. Lucky Geoff! Loved this chapter!

    The Apple

    @northie Perhaps Adam knew something about cider; or maybe not. But the old apple tree beside my house had plenty of blushing inspiration this year. Thank you for reading, and for your astute observations.

    Dialogue

    Thank you so much, Gary. I warmed to my theme as the interplay unfolded. Each new word led to another. I am very happy you liked this.

    Dialogue

    Nice and warm, perfect for all kinds of interesting talks. Thanks for reading, and for your comments!

    Dialogue

    Well, the dialogue got more heated, that’s certain. But I doubt there was any mistake in the meaning of the give and take....thank you for reading these!

    Dialogue

    The weather is a-changing. That means warm fires and all kinds of fun conversations...thanks for reading!

    Dialogue

    Dialogue There stands a simple bungalow, with cozy couch and lights down low, a fire before which you and I might snuggle while the embers glow. Your arm goes round my shoulders high, I kiss your lips, and they reply; our conversation swells apace in words enough to make me sigh. Our hands discuss our altered case in dialogue of fevered grace; no idle chatter do we spend as buttons fly and knots unlace. Your fingers' probing questions end my fee
  22. So much going on here, I had to take this in multiple sittings. CJ moves in fast, exalted company, yet lives his life with friends he loves and connects with. You portray that really well. His speech about eulogize, then organize is perfect.

    Chapter 1

    A beautiful story, simply told, full of meaning, and in the end, joy.
  24. Thank you for reading these. They are a first effort at a form that is new to me. That you liked them is very encouraging!
  25. I am in awe of a man who has figured out the routine that works.
