SarryMatts 2006-09-15 ch 20,	That chapter got to me, there was so much emotion behind the words that I had to read it a couple of times to try to understand it all. The last paragraph nearly had me in tears. You really are an amazing writer. ~Sarry
Collar de Espinas 2006-09-03 ch 20,	This is going to be a ** review. I can tell. ...I miss her too, sweetheart. I've been wondering and waiting and I just need to know. I've just listened to the clip she sent me again and I've ended up crying. I miss her too. Jack, you never deserve what he does to you. Don't you ever let yourself think that, because it just is not true. You deserve so much better than what you get, and I just hope that you'll really believe that, one day.
Collar de Espinas 2006-08-26 ch 19,	Oh, honey... First of all, I am so, so glad that things with you and Stick are getting better again, though I wish that it didn't take him leaving in able for that to happen. I know you're going to have a hard year without him, but I know you'll be fine because you're so strong, Jack. I really wish that I'd been around for you these past few weeks. You have no idea how much it kills me to think of you going through things the way that you have. We may not have much time, but I promise you that, at least for a little while longer, I am going to be around and I am going to be here for you. I missed you so much when I was away, so I guess that just means we'll have to try to make up for time lost now that we can, hmm? May be you are the all-seeing son, sweets. I know that you see a lot, so much that perhaps you shouldn't have to see, and I know that you carry that with you always. I know I always say this, but it's true- you are strong, Jack. Even if sometimes you think you're not coping the right way or if it all feels too much. But you are strong. A part of me feels that, even when things happen that shouldn't and when people let you down, you will always stand. You're strong, stronger than you should have to be. I hope that we'll get to speak today. I wish we'd had more time yesterday. Love you, darling.
SarryMatts 2006-08-03 ch 17,	'Jack can say WRITE, but Jack’s fingers will get distracted by the wonders of internet explorer.' I know how that feels, it happens every time I sit down to go on the computer. Another amazing chapter (and I really should have reviewed back when I first read it). I say keep his mp3 player, unless he begs for it back. Hope he did/does say something worthwhile. ~Serena
Collar de Espinas 2006-07-16 ch 17,	Sorry I didn't review this right away for once... Your paragraph about leaving for Edmonton, particularly the end of that paragraph, was wonderful. And sweets, your brain functions are just fine- how can you write so beautifully if they aren't, hmm? I'm sorry if this weekend has been iffy with us but I promise we'll talk. I love you sweetheart; always will. And our drawing was gorgeous- thank you. I can't help but smile whenever I look at it.
Kasee Lara 2006-07-13 ch 17,	Wow, this is such an emotional story, it's so raw and touching and that's what makes it beautiful. I'm so glad I finally got around to reading this, keep writing like you are. It's amazing to think that this is actually happening to you in real life and I've always respected people who can convey their personal feelings in words; I find that much harder writing down emotion that has been made up. Keep writing like you are.
SarryMatts 2006-07-09 ch 16,	wow. Collar told me about you and i'm so glad she did. You're an incredible writer and this last chapter was probably the best, its got so much emotion in it. I'm looking forward to reading more.
Collar de Espinas 2006-07-09 ch 16,	Okay, so I'm pouting 'cause you're being a silly, silly muppet and you're NOT LISTENING TO ME. GO TO BED JACK!! ahem puts on non-existent professor glasses First of all, you know how sorry I am about your mother. If I could, I'd fly you over to Calgary myself. You do not deserve to have to wait after everything that you've been through. The two beginning paragraphs about your mother were so powerful, sweetheart. I loved this line: 'You’re selfish, you’re hiding, and all because you’ve died.' Wow... I could just feel my heart clench in my chest at that. Stick...well, everything you tell me about Stick and the way that he has been acting recently really irritates me. REALLY irritates me because he should appreciate every last moment that he gets to spend with you and should NOT waste it on ridiculous behaviour. If he ever has used you...then yes, shame on him and more. With all the stories you tell me, Jack, and in getting to know you as I have done, I know that anyone would be lucky to find a friend as loyal and true as you. Stick doesn't know what he has. "He did what I can’t do." And sweetheart, never, ever do it. Ever. You'd break me if you did, and I know that Dana feels the same. I know you put up with a lot- it's evident in the tone and subject of your writing, if anything- but what's also evident is the strength that you have. You are such a wonderful brother, Jack. I know, may be you don't always think so but trust me, you are. The people around you are so lucky to have you; I hope they realise that, if not now then at least one day. Everything you're doing for Tristan now, it's for the best. I know it is. hugs "I truly believe you don’t know where the beauty has gone, and that you have yet to find it again." I think that is my favourite line from this chapter. I have so many 'favourite lines' from your writing but honestly, can you blame me? I don't think I'll ever be able to get over the way that you craft and mould words to create the sentences, thoughts and ideas that you do. I'm not sure what else I can really say...I guess if there's anything else, you'll be hearing from me. On a side note, I'm glad you're finally asleep now, love. Silly muppet. kisses
Collar de Espinas 2006-07-07 ch 15,	Okay, let's see if I can do this...leave you a real review and not some silly gushy thingy... First of all- Dana is going to burst when she sees her name in here, she really is. I really do think that when she sees this on Monday, you'll have made her day. I hope so. I'm so glad you said all that because I'll never be able to put it into words as meaningfully or eloquently as you have, Jack. As you do, there are so many times when I wish that I could jump in and whisk her away, to hold her and protect her and do anything to make her feel better. But I can't, and it kills me. So thank you for saying what I can't and for reminding her that she means something in this world, at least to us. That she is special and beautiful and loved, at least by those whose hearts she has touched with her friendship. Thank you Jack. I'm sorry about Stick, you know I am. I'm glad we got to talk today and I do hope that he realises how much he undervalues you, and how you deserve more than you get. Because you do deserve more, sweetheart, and I hope that one day you get the appreciation and love that you deserve from the people who know you. "You shouldn’t have to see that thing in my chest, that thing they call a ‘heart’." Oh darling...don't ever say that. Not to me, anyway. It makes me so sad, that you could think that because you have a beautiful heart and a wonderful soul. It doesn't matter how battered or bruised it is, because that is who you are and I'll always love you for that, okay? Don't keep who you are or how you feel hidden; show us who you are, sweetheart, and I promise you that our love for you will only grow tenfold, because you deserve that love and trust and friendship. I love the way that you think. Your thoughts are so conscious and clear in your writing, and when I'm reading, I can practically hear you talking to me (in your gorgeous twang. lol) But seriously now, this chapter flowed brilliantly- every thought faded and moved into the next so fluidly that you barely realised that you had moved on to something different. That's a good thing, really, in my eyes at least. It's like you allow us to just get carried along by the tide of your words, as we observe and soak in what you have to say. I'll say this over and over, but you're an artist Jack and you will always have my respect and admiration for that, as well as for being the person that you are.
Collar de Espinas 2006-06-30 ch 14,	Yes, go you! smooshes And thank bloody god your computer is okay now...or I wouldn't be very happy. Nope, not at all.
Collar de Espinas 2006-06-30 ch 13,	Oh, more characters! I really like how you have character profiles for the people that may be involved in your story.
Collar de Espinas 2006-06-30 ch 12,	Wow Jack... You continuously dazzle me with what you write and the way that you do so. This was such a powerful chapter, and as ever, wonderfully written. You can really see your heart on the page and it is a beautiful sight.
Collar de Espinas 2006-06-22 ch 11,	First of all, I really like the composition of this chapter. I'm not sure if this was done consciously or not, but the ring composition of the chapter was a very nice touch. The middle section... Oh, Jack... hugs madly I wish I knew how to help Jack be less broken, but I adore you all the same for it. You're not repulsive. You're a wonderful person and I'm so glad that I managed to get to know you and read all of your work. 'I do know all that I say, and that all I say will be true to me.' Just...wonderful, Jack.
Collar de Espinas 2006-06-22 ch 10,	LOL I'm in your character profile...I'm a character! Teehee. This somehow makes my head spin. 'Forgets how to sleep'...heh, thanks love. sticks out tongue Aww, I make you smile. You make me smile too, even when I'm sleep-deprived. whispers Pst...I'm not Christian. ;)
Save 2006-06-21 ch 3,	Silly Jack I knew it would be there because I know you, well at least I hope I do. I had a funny feeling a lot of that was going to be there. But none of it stung as much as I thought it would.Love you too Darlin'
