Jake's Hand - 19. Epilogue

Epilogue

It is now 20 years since Jake returned to my life. We celebrate each year the day we first made love, with a Chinese dinner—sort of like our Chinese New Year anniversary. But most of all we celebrate the anniversary of that mountain wedding—with Celly and Alec and, now, our grandchildren.

Jake wanted me to manage “our” stock holdings, which now have grown considerably and have given us the freedom to do whatever we want, including retire. Of course, when you have the freedom to retire, you don’t take any guff from management, which makes working much easier, so you don’t retire. Go figure.

The years have passed too quickly, too wonderfully. Not that we haven’t had our disagreements and our rocky times. We have. But we have seen our way through all of them and our marriage has come out stronger each time.

I am looking back over 20 wonderful years and after one very trying one with Jake. I am grateful and will be eternally so.

I took the road less traveled by

And that has made all the difference.

           

 

The End

Thanks to Sharon for editing!

I just finished reading Jake's Hand. This is a remarkable story. I discovered your additional writings after reading Palouse, which kept me enthralled during reading each chapter. Next, I'm going to read the next story about Jake and Rob. I imagine that each chapter will keep me entertained and enlightened.

Thanks for writing.

As I thought - not in the least disappointed by this. Thanks for a great read. I love the balance of emotion and humor as well as the insights into the characters and the wonderful revelations of relationships and love. Very insightful, rewarding and satisfying read.

This story was a great read, thank you so much for sharing. I didn't read as much as a "gay story" as a story of two men growing into a wonderful relationship where they find balance between each other and Rob's kids. There were some really mushy parts but luckily enough tension and Jake's demons to make it realistic and enjoyable. Now I'm off to read Jake's Side. :)
