I appreciate the thought, Justleah, but I'm not sure I have it in me to write another book in this series. I won't give a definite 'no', because I didn't foresee writing this book either, but I'd have to come up with a lot more ideas before I did anything like that. Thanks for your support and feedback.
Those not living at home started to arrive on Friday night, in preparation for the party the following evening. Ricky was the first to show up, and he pulled into the driveway just before 6:00.
"I took a little time off from work so I'd miss the worst of the traffic on the way here," he announced as we greeted him at the door.
"It's nice to see you, but you don't seem to have anything with you," Dad remarked, since it didn't appear as if Ricky had even brought a change of clothes.
Thanks, Jon, and I apologize for causing the waterworks at the same time as hurricane Harvey. I felt that having the boys tie the adoption in with Josh's birthday would be a nice touch, since he wasn't there when they first arrived, but he did a great deal to help them once he returned. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the kind words.
Stix, I'm glad you've enjoyed this book/series, but I'm not sure if there will be more. This has been a very long and arduous adventure, and I'm not sure that I can continue coming up with new ideas that won't seem forced or trite. I do appreciate your continued support, however.
Sunday morning, we all went to church together before going out for brunch. Shortly after we got home, Uncle Steve showed up.
"We didn't expect you," Dad said after greeting him at the door.
"I know. I just wanted to see how Elliot was doing after that scare with those guys who were involved in the shootout. But I also wanted to have a quick chat with Benny and Ryan."
"I suppose it's about the adoption ceremony," I said, since they were my sons.
"Of course."
"So h
Thanks, Wesley. He who lives by the sword and espouses bigotry often goes out in a blaze of glory - at least in his own mind. Kind of like suicide bombers.
As soon as Brandon and I pulled in the driveway after work on Thursday, Elliot came rushing out of the house to greet us. "Have you heard the news?"
"What news?"
"Come inside. They're talking about it on the television."
When we reached the family room, the local news broadcast was on and the entire family was watching it. "It was an unbelievable and bloody scene," the reporter was saying. "In all, there are five dead and several others were wounded in the incident that took
Thanks, Sly, Caz, Krista, Defiance, Headstall, Palantir, and Greg A.
For those of you who haven't reached this age or surpassed it, try not to grow old. Old age isn't the Golden Years unless you're talking about the numerous trips to the toilet.
Meeko, from what you've said here, I'm not so sure he was accusing you of being gay. I think he felt he should investigate the suggestion his mentor gave him and decided to ask you, rather than accuse you. Don't get upset, because he just trying to figure things out. As Headstall pointed out, he's just a kid and not worldly, so he felt this was something he should investigate. To me it doesn't sound as if he was accusing, he was merely asking. I hope this helps. Shouldn't we all ask questions about things we're not sure of?
