Thank you so much! I'm glad it was worth the longer than I wanted it to be wait. When I was making the decision between just getting it done and doing it right, I'm glad you thought I made the right one in making sure it was done right.

The 2nd half was just as good as the first. The portion with Noah escorting the body back to Oakdale was so sad and we didn't even know who was in the casket. I was surprised that it was Tony. My first thought was Reg.

I'm happy that Noah decided to take the discharge. I loved the ending although I would have loved to read some sexytimes between the boys because they were long overdue! I just love my Nuke sexytimes!

This was a great story! You should be quite proud of yourself! :)

Thanks! I'm glad you thought so. I was hoping no one would know who it was in the casket until it was revealed, almost in passing. Hopefully I was doing my job right and you were already emotionally invested even without knowing who it was.

LOL maybe I'll write a sexy times epilogue. It just didn't fit in the timeline of the story, since Noah left Oakdale before he and Luke had done the deed, storyline-wise.

And thanks, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Wonderful... simply wonderful.

This story moved me to tears more than once... so poignant and beautifully written with so much heartache but with happy ending.

Loved it!

Aw thank you! I'm glad you liked it! And I'd like to say I'm sorry for the tears, but I'm not. Makes me happy that it stirred emotion in you. Yep, I'm mean that way. =)

This was amazing and I enjoyed reading it. Noah is perfect as a solider even though I didn't want him as one it suited him well. Also I loved Luke in this, he did his best with the stituation he was given....And the way you described everything down to a t was wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome story, I'm glad you wrote it.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I was conflicted about Noah as a soldier too, it would have been easy to have him hate it, but I could see how that life would appeal to him, being familiar and giving him control when a lot of things in life are uncontrollable. I felt it worked better that he did like it, got what he needed out of it and grew from the experience. That seems more true to Noah's character than anything else I could have done.

Thank you for being glad I wrote it, that's a great compliment.
