Thanks Katie77!
Your description is revealing to me, plus you finalize with this about Ennis and Jack: The last confrontation, was the time when they both spat out all the gut wrenching emotions that had been building up in both of them over all those years....the truth was, they both wanted the same thing, both felt the same things, but never had the ways or means of making it happen.
............
Katie: you really think that they never had the ways? About nor the means?? I tend to think that Jack had the means to bring Ennis (at least some), because money wise since he had worked on his wive's father's bussiness; could he have been too poor? Or his wife would have taken all the money if he had asked for a divorse; I know gay men who suffered that as their wives took all $, one was a university professor and his wives took the two houses!! Of course straight couplew, are too difficult, like one of my sisters lost one house after another, all paid she had, because her husband acted badly and she is still paying lawyers and is soon to be in a wheelchair the rest of her life and maybe live on the street!!
Jack did think of some ways: 1- he wanted to continue to help his parents by having stock there; 2- plus, he desired that Ennis and him lived on it in a cabin nearby?? If that was so, then Jack thought of some ways, yes? Plus Jack with that (those 2 ways), could therefore continue to hope and to plan, not learning to just be happy with the ways things were then... since his ways were reasonable and hopeful!!
May I further ask if Jack had also another way: his parents did like the idea that Jack would have brought Ennis to be and work on the Twist parents ranch, right?
Confusing? Help me out Katie and others, please.
Hugs!! with those you desire to be with and Gay Holidays!!
Awaiting your replies... as you wish!!
