I finally got to read the last 6 chapters of this story and you have both crafted an amazing tale together. There is so much raw feeling here and, as cliched as it sounds, it feels like a cleansing. The tale if these two men has left me feeling raw on the inside, a tumult of emotion leading to a heart breaking affection and pride at their steadfast devotion. Your story is a gift and I thank you both so much for sharing it.
