How in the hell could anyone be opposed to an orphanage ?? 🙄

Talk about reaching into your heart and giving it a squeeze! Whether the judge approves it or not, Thomas has already adopted Colin and Armand and Pops and Dad as well as Mary as Grandmother. Thomas has a family regardless what is said but, GG will have the last word. ❤️

I would liken Tony's reaction to the village scene to that of PTSD, it was a trigger that brought everything back to him in a flash as if it were happening right then. Hopefully, he will be able to work through his trauma with some help. I wish it were that simple, just sign a piece of paper and all the sudden you're proud papa's. The world would definitely be a less lonely place for so many.

Tony, Tony, Tony ... what the hell?!?! Glad to see Thomas back in the picture. Every great kid needs a home ... and EVERY kid is great, sometimes just have to look a little harder to find it! 🤣

Some places just feel like home ... regardless of the sign over the door referring to "HELL"

I got the impression that Colin was trying to "merchandise" Armand's paintings and the feeling wasn't mutual. Armand definitely got a 'wake-up' when he was told the price his painting fetched. Hopefully a portion, if not all, of those funds went to the International Fund for Wild Animals and not just to someone being entrepreneurial or greedy.

Painting, an emotional endeavor applied to canvas. I'm sure that each painting that Armand does takes a significant emotional investment on his part from a gamut of emotions. Some artists have a very difficult time parting with their works because of that emotional tie and investment. I'm sure the painting from his dreams that Colin wanted for his office took that investment hence the shock, or perceived shock, when Armand found out it was on the pamphlet. One would think Colin would've consulted Armand before authorizing its' use.

Is it just me or is there significant foreshadowing happening regarding a devastating fire? The picture of Thomas on the pier warmed my heart!

Reading this chapter reminded me of the 1986 Steven Spielberg movie 'The Money Pit' with Tom Hanks, Shelley Long, and Alexander Godunov. Before you know it, the front door is falling out, ceiling falling in, closet falling down, and bathtub going through the floor. I think a fire suppression system might be the least of Armand and Colin's worries! 🤣

Armand's and Colin's hearts are very loving and caring and Thomas will find his forever home with them and have Grandmother Mary spoil him rotten. I'm just curious what connection Thomas has with the painting he's sitting in front of - something draws him to it.

A very ODD reaction indeed! Hmmm 🤔

Quite an amazing gift for Teresa and Geno. With that one little mark, they could literally sell it an buy their first mansion.

Italy ... wine ... after all that walking, I need a glass of WINE !! 🍷 🤣

I'll stick with my Tide detergent! LOL!!! LOL!!!

Sounds like someone just got interested in our two guys.
