Thank you for the update I have been waiting and was overjoyed to see this update even though I should be in bed. It was wonderful to read and Josh is a good friend and a good person to help Jack out. I'm very happy he is a friend of Jack's. It is sad that they can never really talk it out and figure things out but that is the hard part. Jack is ready to be out and be in a relationship and Ennis is not. He needs to figure out his life and decide and he is pushed in so many different ways. I feel for his pain, but I also understand that it is hard for him to commit at this time for eternity even though a huge part of him wants to commit. That is so much the problem of being gay. Society, sports, school, family and church are all against you and you have so much to overcome and for some who have a different life do have it easier. I was the eagle scout the sports guy in school, the class president and all of that and I knew that I was living a lie. So when at the last minute I changed colleges to get as far away from family, friends and to a place I knew nobody I exploded and went overboard which also is not good but it was how I did it. Ennis may find this in NYC but it is sad he will have to do this part without Jack by his side. But, I have faith in the end he will realize that Jack is the best thing for him and will find a way back. I sure hope so. Joe
