I'm loving this story. But I think I forget that Nick and Jack are only 15 years old. I couldn't have handled all the problems that these boys have handled when I was 15. I realize that this story is fiction, as well written as it is, and I give them, and their creator, a pass when they don't act like mature adults. Carry on Nicky and Jack. May your story have a happy ending.

I don’t have the words to add to the accolades already presented, Gary. This has been a beautiful story beautifully written. Mondays will be a little emptier without a new Bearpaw chapter to look forward to. Thank you for the loveliness you add to our lives. I’m already looking forward to the next one!!!

As always, I was thrilled when I learned this chapter was posted. The way you tell a story, the characters you draw, the vernacular you use just speak to me and make me want to know more about every aspect of your stories. I envision the settings so that with each new chapter I feel like I’m coming home. Thank you for doing that, Gary. What wonderful stories you tell and what a gift you have telling them. Be well!!!

A truly beautiful chapter in a truly beautiful story. I was hoping for this chapter on New Year’s Day and you didn’t disappoint. Thank you, Gary…and Happy New Year!!!

What a wonderful surprise, Gary. This early chapter is a lovely Christmas present. Happy holidays my “story-teller” friend!!!

This is a beautiful, poignant chapter in a beautiful, poignant story. There was a time before all the craziness that Lucas and Reid walked alone to the farm house leaving Jubal to tend the horses, as I recall. It was a small moment but Jubal didn’t like it. Reid then rode off but didn’t seem upset. In my mind I think Lucas told Reid of his growing affection for Jubal…clearing the air between them and setting the stage for Lucas and Jubal to be together. Thank you again for this story, Gary. I hope you are recovering from the loss of your four legged friend. I feel like this chapter, in particular, was written from your heart.

I offer my condolences for your Sky, Gary. The love for an animal, especially one that is a close friend, is a beautiful thing. This chapter is also beautiful and captures the growing connection between Jubal and Lucas. Thank you for your stories.

I’m loving the story and your descriptive way of writing. Lucas and Jubal are real, the ranch is real and I’m sure their relationship will be real, once they get around to it! A week is a long time to wait…but worth it. Thanks!

I'm currently on a trip to London and one of the most exciting things on this wonderful trip to an amazing city has been to get the notification that you had posted another chapter. I continue to love the story, the characters and the playful/serious interactions between Jubal and Lucas. I look forward to the time they really open up to each other. I know you'll handle it beautifully, Gary. In the meantime I'll keep reading as soon as you put the chapters out. Many thanks.

Loving this story and the journey you’re taking us on. Thanks G.

I don't know that I can add anything to what has already been said...but I. too, love your stories and your writing style. It's hard to describe but I get this sense of being home, being comfortable and being excited all at the same time. Your characters are real people in my mind...people I admire and would like to know. I get real satisfaction when a new chapter pops up. Thank you for that. Don't ever doubt your writing skills...and keep 'em coming!

I’m loving this story. Your writing style adds to the realism and makes the characters more interesting.

As I frequently am...a late arrival to the party! Your writing and your ability to tell a story are amazing. I have been off this website for several months but felt the need to read a well written gay-related story tonight. I have so enjoyed your other stories so looked to see if you had new ones...and found stories that I hadn't previously read. Thank you Gary!!! You have provided this reader several hours of much pleasure.

Gary...I am several chapters further in and I am loving the story. But...even more I am loving your writing style, the word pictures you create and the sense that I am being carried along with Kendall and Michael. I fine that I resent being pulled away to tend to other matters. Thank you for the many hours of pleasure that you are providing me. I am so happy that I stumbled onto you (!!!) and I will probably continuing reading your stories for a long while. I love the fact that they are such varied lengths.

So many years later and I'm just now reading this beautiful story, which is driving me crazy. This particular chapter has such sensuous expectations. I can't imagine that Kendall and Michael don't get back together. I ALMOST want to stop reading and just coast on my dreams. Such romance!
