Nice little story that brought a smile to my face. It's a shame we don't get to read how the friendship moved on after that experience.

I may be stating the obvious and suggesting something you may have already tried, if so I'm sorry about that but here goes. You might find something that appeals to your tastes by searching through the archives, or even something that expands your tastes. There are many stories in the archives I find are a good read and actually have a story that is not literary porn. I've just posted an entry about it in my blog which you might find interesting. What ever you find let us know we may enjoy it too.

I mentioned in a previous blog entry that I was reading my way through the archives and enjoying some of the previously written stories. I was going from present day backwards but decided to change tack and went back to day one, I'm now reading from the earliest entries working my way forward. This is turning out to be a great experience which I am really enjoying. We all know that there are a lot of really good stories currently being written, for example CDMX by @Carlos Hazday is a great story and part of the CJ series is definitely a recommended read, as is the whole series. But most of us, new and older members, tend to ignore the archives. This means that a lot the older stories are not being read and enjoyed. There are some great stories stories in the archives just waiting to be read and enjoyed, one of the bigger stories Working It Out by @Don H in three parts is a great piece of work and there are many more longer stories by other authors too. There are also many shorter stories some only one chapter in length that very good and well worth reading, The Boy Next Door by @PlugInMatty, A Ghost Of Christmas Past by @Codey, Beneath The Surface and More Than I Remember both by @Comicality are just a few that I've read and really enjoyed, I recommend them to everyone. Of course there are a great many more by other authors that are equally as good a read but there are just too many to mention. What I'm trying to say is yes let's all keep reading the newer stories and those still in process, but let's not forget the gems that exist in the archives. Some may not have been read by many, they may not have many reactions, chapter comments or even reviews but they are still good and worth taking the time to read, you can still leave comments reactions and reviews for them if you want to. Try reading something that has not been written by one the popular authors and give a lesser known author a try, if you do I think many of us will be surprised at how much there is to enjoy. I think it will also give an understanding of how much many authors have improved over time and how much hard work many authors put into their writing. Well I hope at least some of you have read and enjoyed this post, if you have maybe you can recommend a story from the archives, if you have read something you have enjoyed share it and let us all know. Thanks for reading.

No sex, no dramatic events or cliff-hangers, just a beautiful story of a lasting friendship. The introduction of Connor and Mrs H to each other is typical of how young boys are. Reading this shows how valuable their friendship is to both of them. Well worth the read.

Just as the friendship of Connor and Mrs H stands the test of time so does this short story. Friendship is one of the most important part of our lives and this story tells it in a beautiful way.

A well written heart wrenching story that reminds us just how valuable children are. It should be read by more.

Wow, you know how to tell a story this one brought tears to my eyes and made the hairs on my arms stand on end. It reminds of why my parents fostered and why I had so many foster brothers and sisters. Hopefully they now have better lives, luckily none had the ending that Ricky did.

Can love exist where and when we think it doesn't? Well I'm giving nothing away. I recommend to everyone, read and enjoy I definitely did.

You have shown us that love really can get you when least expect it. This story is nothing short of brilliance, you are a true wordsmith. I salute you.
