Hey Jeff,

thanks for making some time for us. Don't we all know how crowded you got it back home.))

Speaking of which, I know that Jay is TEH big topic here, but you are father of another two absolute adorable kids.

Can you tell us what touched your heart in a way that made you cry? Their first word or a first step, or some charming misbehaviour?

[jeff_dm]

You're calling those kids adorable? Have you seen what they're doing to my house?

Holly's first nativity play. Someone told her that playing Mary was a huge deal and when she got picked for the part I thought you wouldn't get the smile off that girl's face. Two days before the big night, she got sick. Stevie had to be at the school to help out so I stayed home with Holly. I've never seen someone so heartbroken. I've got this sick little girl in my arms, crying because she isn't in the nativity. That kind of thing's impossible to make better.

With Corey, yeah, it was his first word. Jared was trying to get Corey to say his name. Corey learnt to say daddy first, though. Man, Jared was pissed.

oh, so re-modeling is on the way?)))

[jeff_dm]

Haha, if they carry on I'm gonna do with them what I did with Jay. They'll be living in the garage!

hmm... okay, how about:

When you took Jensen into your home, did you ever think he and Jared would get to where they are now? Or did you think they would break up?

[jeff_dm]

It's really hard to answer that now, because they've been together for so long. I remember at the time it was hard to understand why Jensen was so interested. And Jared had been such trouble, I didn't get how Jensen had managed to calm him down like he did. There were a couple of rocky moments when I really just looked at Jared and thought, what the fuck are you doing? Y'know? Like he was trying to get Jensen to leave. I really thought Jensen would, especially after the Chuck business. I think Jensen picked up a lot of Jay's stubbornness, though. I'm glad of it. I can't imagine anyone else with Jay now.

aaaw...

Thanks for talking to us Jeff. It is incredible the way you love Jared, how protective you feel towards him and no one could deny the love you feel for that kid.
My question is this, Can you tell us the moment you realised "God I love this kid", he was a handful when you first met him and he fought you every step of the way, and then his mother got sick and you had all of that to deal with. But was there a moment when you looked at him and thought "Jesus I love this kid like he was my own" ?

[jeff_dm]

A handful is an understatement, huh? It was the moment I finally got him back after his mother had gone. He didn't trust me too much back then. He liked the Harley, though, so I got him to follow me into the garage, and he climbed on the back of it, and I let him sit up there while I worked on it. That was the first time I'd seen him smile like he really meant it, and for me. As soon as he could help me on the Harley, he did. That's how you know, isn't it? When they start caring back?

[magser]

Oh I can just picture it.....you are incredible.....

Hi Jeff. Can you tell me how you felt when the boys told you they would be moving to LA?

[jeff_dm]

I felt like any parent would feel when they hear their kids are going across the country. It was scary. There, I'll admit it. I was scared knowing that I wouldn't be able to be there right away if something happened. Now that's been tested and, yeah, that journey to LA, not knowing if Jay was okay or not, that's the worst trip I've ever had to make. I like having my family close, I like being able to keep an eye on them. I guess I got used to having to keep an eye on Jay over the years.

But now I know, with both of them, they couldn't be in a better position right now. They're each with the right person and their lives are going the right way. It makes it easier to know that.

Your attraction to Stevie was so quick, and so amazingly solid. I am a big believer in that old adage that if you have truly loved once, you will love again. You are blessed to have such an amazing woman in your life. So the question is, did you struggle with the need to be with her? Did you look back and the woman you still lived, your son, your home, and think about taking the easy route and let her slip away?

[jeff_dm]

I think this has gotta be the toughest question yet. Jay..having Jay there made it harder, yeah. I didn't think I was the kind of guy to just fall in love like that, like, no warning. It's just there. But Jay's mom, she made me promise her that I'd, y'know, carry on. Fuck, listen, this is gonna sound corny and I'm sorry for that, but I kinda saw Stevie as meant to be. I loved Jay's mom, I adored that woman, and I would have promised her anything. I promised her I wouldn't stay alone, but for years I did. I felt like she'd made sure things happened, that it was her looking out for me which meant that I bumped into Stevie. And Stevie, she's this incredible woman. I mean, really, how could anyone let someone like that go out of their lives?

[txrabbit]

I feel the same about my husband, so I know what you mean. I sometimes wish that Jay had been a little easier on you when you and Stevie first got together, I know that would have made the entire thing a little better for you, but I think that it's wonderful how she never gave up and loved him regardless of his attitude, and now he's got an amazing mom. Not a replacement, but an additional one.

Congratulations on your wonderful family!

[jeff_dm]

Thanks, sweetheart! You're right, I wish Jay had gone easier on her, too. But I know why he acted the way he did.
