And Chapter 54 is up, too!  Love the fast updates:

I'm glad Ennis and Jenny cleared the air.  And I love how Jack and Ennis can be a support system to each other regarding these parenting issues.  But, as Jack pointed out, it's a lot easier to give advice than to deal with your own issues - and we still have a lot of Bobby issues to deal with.  I wonder if and how they will manifest themselves during the Thanksgiving trip.  Should be very interesting!

**Spoilers**


I thought the conversation between Ennis and Jenny was fantastic!  And, it is true that this story is interesting in how much it revolves around Ennis and Jack's roles as fathers... and how they're growing more and more comfortable supporting one another in their efforts to be good Dads.

I agree that the upcoming Thanksgiving and trip will be really great!

I always feel so good after reading a chapter of this story-even when it is angsty. I like the portrayal of Ennis-he has his fears and weirdnesses but he is verbal and emotionally generous which makes it easy to understand why Jack loves him. In some stories he written as such a dick it doesn't make any kind of sense why anyone would care about him much less hang around for 20 years.

Afternoon.

Just a 'bump' on this great story.  Chapter 98 is up, and it's a doozie!!  The link is below, but recommend that you back up and read the previous chapters first.

Thanks again.

Thanks Bud. :) 

I still read this story regularly, but it's been quite a while since I've posted in this thread.  It really is a good story. It's amazing how long it's become!  But, I always look forward to it.

Wow!!!  That was quite a dramatic update!  I just finished reading it.  I definitely didn't see that turn of events coming!  :o
