Chapter 19: In Memoriam
Great work Louise. Cheers.
I read it through twice, I loved Ennis up there with Jack... I love that he told him he loved him.
Beautiful.

And the fact that Ennis is being open about his pain, about his love for Jack, it could encourage Ellery to be open too about whatever he feels about Ennis pain or his relationship with Jack.

Nat, what a lovely thing to say above. I am fearful about how Ellery will handle all of this... but I hope you are correct in the sense of Ennis being open encouraging Ellery to be open, etc...
I think if we look at what happened with Beagle and Ellery, we know Ellery isn't perfect, that he has trouble dealing with his emotions sometimes too... but Ennis really helped him get through that... so I think even if Ellery does end up having unexpected trouble with Ennis' revelation about Jack... I think Ennis will still be there for him, and they will be able to work through it. I think they have made that committment to each other - and I think they will both honor it.
(Of course, all of this is speculation... Louise has done masterfully so far, so, que sera sera...)

I'm all torn up inside and confused...
Gotta let of all this sink in properly...

You know, I think Ellery and Ennis may feel exactly this same way, June...
(I just finished reading Chap 16 Ranchin' Up... I only skimmed thru most of the commentary... and i'm behind, but my 2 cents, since I'm allowed: Ellery's allegiance here is to Ennis... he sees Ennis in terrible pain, and he is trying to help ease Ennis' pain by pointing out some problems with Jack's dream.)

We all question decisions we have made in the past. But we still dont know where tomorrows decisions will lead us. Pro or con.

So much wisdom around here, it is nice.
PS - Fred - thanks for showing us you're human too, by doing the 'angry' post...
