Thank you, Heather, and Matt I debated about posting smaller chunks. I don't like reading (or writing) long ones, myself.... (OK, I know, I write long, wordy sentences that I feel need to have no less than three adjectives describing each word or no one will understand exactly what I'm saying. I love words. I'm keeping that part about me because I like it.) I DIGRESS LOL. Anyway, for this one, I really wanted to keep it all together as one post. Thank you for your patience in reading the novel. smile

Heather, I actually thought of you and Smokey as I wrote it. Matt, Mighty, bea and a few others here with "mean ones", too. Of course, every situation is different. Every person is different. There are no guarantees that anyone else's H or W will grow like this. Even my current H. No one knows.

It does give me hope, that the seemingly impossible is always possible, when the desire is there. It had to be his desire.

If you met him before, I am certain, you would not have ever thought he was capable. And that's how I feel about my H. This gives me hope, that even if I don't believe it now, anything can happen.
