    The chapter title made me wonder if new travails were about to afflict the farm and our two heroes. Instead, you wrote us a fine, beautiful scene, a conversation that needed to happen. Thank you.

    Tomas and Fletcher are fun characters to write and create for. I’m only sorry it took me so long to bring their stories back to my pen. Thanks very much for reading!
  3. Parker Owens
    That makes me very glad. Thanks for starting over!
  4. Parker Owens
    I’m very grateful for your kind words.
  5. Parker Owens
    Thank you very much for your thoughts.
  6. Parker Owens
    Thanks very much. If you hear his voice in these, then these poems did what I hoped.
  7. Parker Owens
    Thank you very much. I’m glad you think they captured Carlos; they echoed his voice to me.
  8. Parker Owens
    Thank you very much.
  9. Parker Owens
    Thank you very much. I’m glad you found these encouraging and powerful. If they’re fitting ways to remember Carlos, then they have hit the mark.
  10. Parker Owens
    Thank you very much. I hope he is agreeing in spirit someplace.
  11. Parker Owens
    These poems remind me very much of Carlos. I cannot imagine Carlos being conquered. Thank you for your encouraging words:
  12. Parker Owens
    I could not agree more. We need far more of Carlos, and much less cultural direction from above. He wasn’t the biggest fan of my poetic work, but I think he might have liked these.

    Defiant was CJ’s Jeep, but it was so often the kind of tone Carlos set. They called him to mind directly.
  14. Parker Owens
    Thank you.

    i. You can talk about Jesus and sin and we must watch you pray at the game, grooming impressionable youngsters for your faith; yet you say we must remain silent and hide our pride away from your eyes. ii. Our story is not for you to write, or edit according to your whim; it’s not wet clay to shape or shatter as you please, but long engraved on true hearts that shine with the same pure, bright flame as your own. iii.

    Four skyscraper poems in tribute to a great friend.

    You’re very welcome! I enjoyed returning to these characters after a long spell away from them. Tomas has indeed seen his life changed more than he ever hoped for or imagined. After the holidays, I shall have to think on what’s next for them.

    You’re most kind, and thank you for reading this occasional series all the way through. It was fun to return to these characters.

    There’s so much to read on GA, it’s hard to know where to begin. Thank you so much for your kindness in reading A to Z all the way through.
  20. Parker Owens
    How I missed this, I don’t know, but let me extend to you a big hug of welcome.
  21. Parker Owens
    Welcome to GA. That story of how you first met is lovely. You’ll find many other writers, readers and friends here.
  22. Parker Owens
    You’re very welcome! I’m glad some joy from this story could warm the dreary day.

    The family is religious in my background notes; the parents emigrated, bringing rich traditions with them. As a younger man, Tomas felt the need to connect to these via Catholicism as a way of making himself feel worthy. His seminary experience only served to amplify his feelings of unworthiness. Tomas just discovered that his mom and siblings are more fiercely loyal to family, and specifically in this instance to himself. It’s a very joyous discovery. Thanks very much for your comments and for reading!
  24. Parker Owens
    It’s a series of snapshot stories; each builds a bit on the previous ones. They kind of grew, and then I got involved in other matters. It was fun to return to these characters. Thanks for giving this a try.
  25. Parker Owens
    Thank you very much for reading this addition before your daylight fades. I'm glad you thought it fit the season as I did. I'm sure the other chapters will keep until bedtime!
