...don't mind about me, just keeping a promise I have made...

Tula, I think it made Lucky very happy that you are so devoted to this story. I agree, it's one of the brightest gems in a brilliant treasure trove.

Oh, how wonderful and bittersweet to read this one again. A gem indeed.

Thank you Maggatha, for bringing this back to the light. (Um, to the night? To the moonlight? )

[maggatha3]

Oh, yes....seems I will always return here...

Oh, yes....seems I will always return here...

Oh my gosh, it's wonderful to see you, Tula! Thank you for bringing this wonderful story up to Active Topics. I really love it too, though I always feel so sad for Mick.

I loved the conversation in the comments about whether Beth gave her son the middle name Elliott. I'm gonna take the liberty of disagreeing with Lucky here... I can see Josh insisting on the name, once he discovered Beth liked it, because it was "only fair that we give him your favorite, too, dear, since you were so understanding about naming him after me." And then he'd be shocked when the kids called Joshua 'Jello', because it never occurred to him that those initials might be problematic! And all along, Beth really wanted to give him the middle name Turner.
