Hello PastorFred! :)
Glad to see you here!
I remember you from the IMDB boards, glad to see you over here, discussing Ennis and Ellery with the rest of us! It is quite the experience aint it?
You are not the only one who is obsessed with it, rest assured! ;D
For people like us who believe that Ennis doesn't have to die alone in misery and anguish after Jack, Ellery is a good man, who doesnot replace Jack, but gives Ennis another chance at love and life as a gay man.
I am hooked! ;)

He's always egging those boys on, too! Somehow I have the feeling that he gets to share in the sweet life that E & E are building. When we hear from those who have gone ahead of us, they speak through our own hearts and minds. So Ennis can't hear Jack's forgiveness until he can imagine it. And Ellery helps him hear Jack tell him that he had done the best he could, that there truly was ultimately nothing to forgive. And so many other times...

Fred, I've been saying something a long these lines myself... but I like the way you've phrased it so much better!
pastorfred:
I'm hoping that Louise will keep writing about Ennis and Ellery for a long time to come, bringing them right into the present...
So... here's something from the crazy idea department:
If Ellery's career in the Laramie County Sheriff's department moves into the late 90's, I'm very confident that he will be instrumental in solving the homicide of Matthew Shepard. Even if he has moved on, I can imagine his being called back to work on that.

There's a much more literal way Jack was instrumental: It was his journal that got Ennis out of that little room and on the road to Laramie, to Ellery and his future.

Fred,
This is such a good, and very insightful, comment. I hadn't thought of it this way, but it is so verry true. It is like the physical manifestation of Jack giving Ennis the go ahead, not just the ideas and thoughts of Jack in Ennis's head.
I started re-reading the first book this morning so the journal stuff is all fresh in my mind. This really is a very true observation.
