    Loss on Asphalt

    GREAT chapter... but just as important, how many stories fed into the chapter and how many come out of it? Tom
  2. Damn, Wayne... I had sense enough to realize transition is multi, multi-faceted, but you've opened a tier beyond anything ever considered. You've already broadened my horizons on this, so educate me even more!
  3. Great short story! Excellent example of one of the many ways we still have a long way to go.

    Epilogue

    Without doubt Guarded is even more wonderful the second time around! Tom

    Holy cow Wayne!!! I'm so thankful I have learned to trust you and move forward in spite of ROUGH beginnings. All the good things beyond the beginning are the reason to keep moving forward. Tom i

    Absolutely YEP to more stories about guys like Joe, but FOR SURE about more guys like Pete!!! I can personally testify that several years knowing guys like Pete brought tons of balance and JOY to my life. Tom

    Chapter 4

    Oh buddy... This has really been a mess of a year, but coming back to this reading has been an incredibly refreshing thing for me! Have to admit I couldn't resist reading Harry, then doubling back to do the recommended "get back up to speed" reading. Harry was great, but back to Guarded and WHAM there was the old magic!!! Thank you!!! Tom '

    Harry

    Hey Wayne... It is wonderful to be welcomed back to Camp Refuge with a "got lucky" story. Gus and his folks got lucky running into a family whose needs dovetailed so well with their capacities to help and guide. Harry and his folks got lucky running into a family to help them along the path to wellness. And we, your readers, got lucky by being invited to share the start of another Camp success story. This story could so easily become more than a short.... hint, hint, hint. Tom

    WOW! What a totally surprising and incredible ending to a wonderful chapter. Not the first knotted gut, but there were more "loops" than a macrame. And they all had "possibility" tails. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us.

    Over

    Thank you Wayne, what an incredible chapter. Some things fixed and settled, some things nearly, and we've ended up at another cliff. Then there was the apron. That one object nearly undid me. Life experience has taught me that in times of trouble seemingly small material objects can have overwhelming emotional significance. In an incredible chapter working in that one object was an absolute emotional blockbuster. Thank you so very much for allowing us to join in experiencing your stories and the insightful readers' discussions.

    Broken

    WOW.... what a chapter. Things go to crap, then sideways headed straight for hell. My guts tied up in knots... but on closer inspection all those knots have a little tail of hope hanging out. Hope and faith are what Camp Refuge is all about. Then there's also the faith we can make it through the week to resolution.

    Kids do stupid things... and crap goes sideways. Glad I've been around long enough to trust and hang around for what follows.

    Bound

    It Feels So Right... being back at Camp Refuge is like being back in a home where you know you fit in and belong. Happy New Year!

    Sacrifice

    WOW... My memory ain't what it used to be, but I don't remember that we've discussed a "classification" for chapters like this.... Crescendo maybe? What a read, loved it, and shouldn't there be more than one more??? Tom '

    Thanksgiving

    Great hospitality, great food, and great friends those make for something to be thankful for. Great chapter!! Tom

    Trust

    Trust... for so many gay people and their families it would seem to be the unreachable dream, but at Camp Refuge it can be doable. Thanks to Wayne for believing in the refuge concept and putting it all together for us to experience. Tom

    Growth

    Good folks, doing good things, and getting good results. That's a combination that's hard to beat. It gives me great joy being able to participate. Tom

    Speaking

    Incredible, connections driven chapter... connections cut off, connections re-kindled, connections solidified. Then there's the fact that "sometimes, a broken piece is the only one that will fit." That feels so right! Tom

    Hope

    This chapter was great fun to read, another great building chapter. And oh by the way... I can't wait for the "delicious" chapter! Tom
