I think I have missed a few chapters lol. Although, I have not read the rest of the book, it was easy to pick up the storyline and I enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing and keep safe.

    Hey, nice to see you! Thank you for stopping by to read a few chapters of this story. I believe this is one of my best I have written. It will need a little polishing but I am pleased with the outcome so far.

    Hugs to you - Carol

Now THAT was a reunion! It was soooo beautiful. You said you liked to do the emotional stuff, and you really do it very well.

My only suggestion, so small:

"Annie put him on the chain."
-->
"Annie, put him on the chain."

***

Is this the conclusion? It works, but then we don't get to see Garth and Allison making up, or to find out what's in Mason's locker.

    No there will be another chapter or two to wind it all up. I just haven't been able to get to it as of yet. Thank you again as always. Carol

That was very nice. Are all the reunions and loose ends tied up? I suppose the ending was Hanks riding off into the sun set, with all smiles and a bright future ahead for all the characters involved. It was a great story and excellent writing.

Congratulations!

    Nope - the ending will be a bit different I think. I am working on it in either one chapter or two. Thanks so much for following and enjoying my story.

    Always, Carol

Carol,

How sweet! How fun! How wonderful! And, pardon me for saying so, but the underlying currents of this story feel better - like you may be feeling better. Man, I hope that's so. I'm still saying my prayers and including you. Hugs and hugs and hugs!!

    Thanks, Robyn - Writing has proven to be my salvation as I struggle through this darkness. We all face the difficulties of life, and this one is big... but I will get back up...after all, my name is Begin Again. Right?

    Hugs, Carol

    You know, when I red so many at one time - you don't have to respond to every ONE.

    Oh yes, I do... I at least need to say thank you... It took your time, and I truly do appreciate it when someone enjoys the story.

    Hugs, Carol

    Girl, we are beyond that. I KNOW you appreciate me. I'm fabulous - right? hahaha But when I do them in a big clump like that - it's okay to respond in clumps as well - I promise. Please. You've got a lot going on - if there's any way to make things easier I'm game.

It's always nice to look forward to happy days for happier times. What an emotion-filled chapter you have penned Carol! The sisters have found each other and their mother at last. What a lovely well-written chapter. . High on Emotional Quotient. Thanks for sharing!

I had to replenish my Kleenex twice while reading this! You hit just the right note...a bit of trepidation and then a rush to embrace and explore the past, give thanks for the present, and leave their tomorrow's in God's hands!

Just sprinkle these six stars around, Carol...
I never have as many as you deserve!

Somehow I sense these emotions were cathartic for you, personally...

I'm sad to see this wrapping up!

    I cried through the entire time I wrote, but I guess I needed the release. It was quiet (the chaos of every one's emotions were gone for a moment) and I stepped into the story and let it live.

    I am sad too, but sitting in a cold hospital hallway, I began to envision Book 4... something good had to come out of freezing to death. LOL My brain was heating up! LOL

    Thank you so much for the thoughts, tears, and the stars.

    Love ya, Carol

What a lovely chapter with this wonderful meeting. So glad it went well. It's very positive with nothing bad to destroy their happiness regardless of what the future might hold. God was good to give them this time together. Well written chapter.

    Thanks, Wendy... I think the chapter went well. I wasn't sure I could write it with the emotion it needed, but it's good. It might need a little more umpff to it but maybe later.

    Hugs, Carol

What a moving reunion scene you've described. It's quite believable that identical twins would have the same reactions to lizards and have the same likes and dislikes. Super job with this!!
Side note: I really liked having a post with just one theme and setting. I know it's normal in TV shows to switch from scene to scene but my brain doesn't work that way.

    I've tried to limit the posts to one scene... but sometimes I don't have enough to complete a chapter. It costs me so much to post and I like to have around 1200 to 1500 words.

    Thank you so much for feeling the emotions in this chapter and connecting with them. It means so much to me.

    Hugs, Carol

It's so exciting that Liz and Faith have finally met and that they are getting along so well. How wonderful for Mary to have both of her daughters together. After all of those years thinking that Liz had died as an infant and then finding her alive and well was a miracle. Another great chapter!!
