Daddybear54, this is the first writing posted to this site that I have chosen to parse out a chapter or two a day, with many bringing smiles, even laughter, and tears to my eyes in the end. Thank you for sharing your creativity and self with us.

@drew4fun Thank you for your message. I'm sure it won't surprise you when I say that writing the ending had me in tears too, not least because I hadn't expected the story to end like that at all when I was starting. Also, glad to hear that you enjoyed the little bits of humour that I slipped in.

I laughed, cried, got excited, fantasized, jacked, and feel in love with a bunch of characters who could have been equally at home in my world of Chelsea, and Fire Island. I saw myself, my friends, and all the fun we had over so many years. I would love to see this story, and Hawaiian Nine, combined into a television/movie. It is a journey similar to so many other journeys we have all been on. Bravo!

@LiamHudsonXXX thank you so much. It's an intriguing suggestion. I thought of the two as completely separate stories which happened to intersect at one point. Among my previous stories "Three's the Cure" was a very definite continuation and extension of "Affairs of State." Thanks for the powerful compliment about my characters.

You did an outstanding job with this story, @daddybear54!

I faced an end-of-life situation like Ricky.  My English professor and friend who was like a father to me, asked me to stay with him before he passed.  He too was gay. He left me something for suspending my life for a few months.  I found it the most difficult task I've done: watching this man of such knowledge and experience reduced to a preschool level of mind.  I'm glad I was able to do it. 

Thanks for a great sad but happy ending!  [or just thanks for an ENDING!]

@tankonpoint Thank you for sharing your own story. I can feel the difficulty and the emotional weight of your experience coming through strongly in your words. And thank you for the positive feedback.

Thank you so much for this wonderful story, the last few chapters have brought tears to my eyes.

Really well and touchingly written

@barefuck_vie thank you! The ending made me cry too, because it wasn't the way I thought the story was going to end.
