There were definitely a lot of emotions playing out. It makes my heart happy to hear this chapter positively impacted the way you view what you have. Quite the compliment and all I could really hope for. ❤️
This comment made me re-read the entire chapter. Even though the scene you referenced is in the beginning, I had to finish it lol.
and yes, he would have been naked IF he dropped the towel. More likely, he put his undies on while the towel was still wrapped around his waist.
In 2022 I have ten boys 3y-14y and six girls 1y-7y. I can't imagine that there will be many more by 2027.
And why does it have to take place in Manchester? Who made you the boss?
And Dave? How dare you.
Way to squash a crossover before it starts.
I think it was a combination of things. Learning more of his bio parents played a part, but mostly, the birth of the girls and in that, discovering how a parent should and can love their children….and realizing that’s exactly how Mike and Julia loved him, was a big deal. It definitely makes you re evaluate things.
Sometimes you don't know what you have. I think that was Loren when he left. He was still a child. As he grew up and things fell into place, he realized how poorly he handled things with Mike and Julia. Then you wonder if too much time has passed. Of course, that's not the case here. Maybe it took him loving the girls to understand just how much Mike and Julia love him. The girls could come back 20 years later and they would cherish the moment, just like Mike and Julia cherished his return. The sweet love of parents who truly love their kids.
