First, let me say that I am sorry for your loss, I lost my mother in 1999 and my father in 2001. There is no short way to grieve, you have to go through the stages and you caught that very well in this chapter. Anger is the one stage hardest to get over - especially when it is out of the natural order of life, like Jack's loss of his son, Bobby. It was so wonderful in your story that Ennis stuck it out and didn't spook and run away, like he had done all those years before. I am so happy that you finished this story - it was well done!
Thank you!

Movin' On

Evenin', Fizzer.

Well, closure, snapping closed the suitcase, closing the door to that house and that old life. And opening, the new life, whatever that will be and wherever that will lead. Yin and Yang. Just life.

I liked how you wrote about Jack's torment and guilt, and how they both learned to deal with it, and especially liked when you said the truth that you never say good bye to your loved ones who have died, they're with you every day of your life.

Three hours away? New Mexico, Arizona? Kansas? Colorado? So many possibilities, but each a clean break for both of them, which is a good thing.

Glad you finished this one, and liked how you finished it. Life is full of holes, not every situation gets resolved neat and tidy, sometimes they just end, fade away, and 'aren't' any more. Hope you write some more and share it with us.

And, the Christmas Interlude [posted in 2007] fit right in, could have been any time, but probably was the first Christmas, seems to fit into Jack's moods early on.

Thanks again.

Beautiful ending to a very hard story - but you handled the situation with tender gloves and it shows....

Love the ending - going back to the beginning that I found so intoxicating -

A simple phone call - yeah. That's how it began - that's how it ends.

Love it!!!! Hope all is well with you. Adrianne

Dear Susan, first of all, I'm sending you my deepest sympathy for your terrible loss. It is also so nice and thoughtful of you to continue and finish this series despite your grief in RL.
I loved these last 3 parts. They were wonderfully and sensitively written. You don't lose track of the real essence of these characters, but I can sense you also infused these last few parts with something personal, which made it even more significant and unique.
Thank you so much for sharing, I hope writing this was somewhat therapeutic for you. It was very nice to read something from you again.
Love & hugs
Paola

I want to let you know that I was reading your story in the beginning but it was very hard and sad to read and I had the feeling that it would take a long time to be finish. Now, I read it all again and I want to thank you for finishing it and for giving us to real men, with their real life and their sorrows, but you took them to that sweet life they deserve. Thank you so much again. Martha
