As italian, I don't understand anything about baseball, but characters are soooo funny... so let see what happens...

Nolan is a mess... Jensen is a good kid. Nolan loose his "perfect" life... Jensen is growing. They meet from opposite directions and change directions. Age? Bah! They found a common language... at last. Or, better, at the right moment. Thanks Mrsgnomie

The right conclusion of a perfect story. In the end love will save all of us... Thanks again Mrsgnomie

I had to wait a few days before I started writing these lines. I had never read anything like this before, yet I have always been an avid reader. Beyond the characterization of the characters I really enjoyed the work of their creation and their reality. Jay and Loren are two of us, albeit with different histories, but realistic, real. Mrsgnomie constructed two realities that he wanted to bring together. He combined fate and will: fate brought Jay and Loren together, but their will led them to the ending and the beginning of their lives together. The exploration of both protagonists' lives and the addition of other characters as the story unfolds makes it all three-dimensional. The story leaps off the pages and becomes almost an everyday parallel to your life. The skill with which Mrsgnomie stitches it all together is truly extraordinary. The deep desire of both protagonists to become fathers - albeit with Loren's reticence, albeit increasingly weak - I think engages all readers, gay, straight or whatever. Children are a constant presence in the story, testifying to the couple's desire to leave the future a testament to themselves and their lives. Loren redeems his terrible childhood by building a world of economic and work security around him, into which Jay fits at first with difficulty. Jay comes from an affluent family and testifies to a life of love, affection, and respect. The incontro-scontro between the two - albeit in the slow growth of a deep love - becomes a journey, a return to the beginning of their lives to rebuild new paths of understanding and to establish the foundations of a solid bond. Love in itself is simple. Not simple is cultivating it, protecting it and growing it solid and secure. Jay and Loren teach that we all need to communicate, to be heard and respected, and to be welcomed and loved for who we are. Please read it. Tanks Mrsgnomie

Ahahaahh! Sometimes the best, after reading the chapter, are the comments that make me laugh... Thanks to everyone!

Aido Potato forever!

Children. They can make miracles, and as silence and hugs they can heal you...

Ahahaahh! ... one of the best line together with "(My hart) batte per cose nemmeno sapevo esistessero". It sounds so beautiful also in Italian...

No words... only silence and hugs. Take care of yourselves boys... Silence cures, hugs the same...

How do you call this if not love?

Why Loren is... Loren? What happened to him? I can't believe you choose to be alone in your life... But maybe I'm wrong... My hope is with Loren now. Jay is strong enough for both of them... Thanks Mrsgnomie...

Amazing... I don't know who I love more, Jay or Loren. Fragile people, delicate and rough. But I'm sure I love your writing Mrsgnomie...

“You’d come visit me?” Seamus asked with definite hope in his voice. “Aidan’s being persistent about it.” “Just Aidan?” “I called you, didn’t I?” Seamus laughed. “When can you be here?” “When do you want us?” “Three weeks ago.” Matt smiled. I LOVE Seamus...

Really!

Now I have feelings that Seamus needs much more attention than Matt. They are connected but they need to understand why. Until now Matt is the strongest one I believe ...

Truth!!!

One hundred and one reasons to read this story. You want to know that reasons? So read it!

I love your sense of humour Mrsgnomie... Dialogues full of humour but also with wisdom. I feel a sense of wait between Seamus and Matt, like they are studying each other. Seamus is quiet, wise, waiting... Matt is youth, pride, energy but also pain and fear for the future. And Aidan is like a glue between them. Different paths, but they crossed.

I do!!!

I agree! Good idea...

It seems that Matt didn't had the time to mourn for the death of her mother... Aidan needs all his attention 24/7 and also work... I wonder how he can afford all this... Great character, I'm starting to like the story...

One of the best story that I've ever read...

It's been a pleasure to read this. Good characters well developed. As always, where there is love there always be good people.

Gay or straight... I always cry at weddings! Ahahaah! In bocca al lupo Eric and Rain! (It means good luck...).

It sounds to me sometime like sci-fi... Characters really strong, with difficult lives on their shoulders. Broken families, broken harts and... faith. One billion! I hope money don't change this kind people...
