I literally gasped out loud, “Oh not Tommy!” I mean… I felt the small night in my stomach and the sense of disappointment like this was a real person! I guess that’s when the characters really do sneak into your mind at heart. Great work!

And I wonder if the Angels looking into our lives have the same feelings while getting caught up and into the divinely spun the narratives that we outplay…

Ah Thank you Fred. Weirdly, I felt the same way about Tommy. Grateful. And I think you’re correct about angels looking into the world of humanity and wondering and cheering and feeling, maybe sadness.

Your encouragement means a ton. You’re a creator and you know the journey.

Oh, this got me. I didn't know I cared that much about Tommy til he was gone. <3 (Life lesson??)

Yeah, even though I’ve known the thing with Tommy was coming I was completely taken off guard by how much it hit me too. Strange to both know it’s coming and then writing it…and still felt the grief.

So grateful for your faithful readership and your feedback. Both mean the world to me.

I love these characters you have created, Steve! Such a beautiful, honest community who are learning to know themselves, others and God better and to love each other imperfectly! I'm excited to see what happens next! Keep up the good work, my friend!
