Love this! Each letter was such a neat little insight into Timmy, and then our boys together. You do realize there are at least 4-5 stories you need to write now, don't you? ;-)
I thought about choosing Don to write the letters, but somehow I can't see him committing words to paper or even an email. He's had so many situations come back to haunt him that I see him keeping his words closer to the vest. Plus, I don't know if he could actually be bothered to write so much as a grocery list.
thank you so much for writing these beautifully letters. They tell us about a big part of Timmy´s live and my favourite is the last one to Donald, because there is so much love and hope for the future in it. I especially would love to read full stories about the hurtful times - poor Don and Timmy. I hope you have got my mail about your wonderful zine story. If not, please tell me I will send it again. You don´t need to answer, I only want to let you know how much I appreciate your writing!
You're quite welcome. I enjoyed writing them and thinking about Timmy's life before and after he met Don.
Every couple goes through hurtful times, and our boys certainly have their share of them. I'll think about writing a story about one of those times - maybe Don getting shot by Kyle's father?
I did receive your email - what wonderful things you said! I will answer it just so we have another chance to talk.
This is such a beautiful progression - though the next-to-last just about broke my heart. It started beating again as I read the final letter, however. Lovely job!
A great idea for giving us quick glimpses into our boys' lives. Liked that you combined both happy and sad themes. They are simply screaming to be made into full-length stories (hint, hint).

You're such a good friend. <3

A story of Don getting shot by Kyle´s father sounds great, because I love reading h/c and angsty stories so much.

The last letter had to end on an upbeat, ordinary note. There's no other way to end a story about our boys.

Thanks for sharing.

I thought a couple of them would make decent longer stories. As soon as I finish a long story I'm writing, I'll pick one to work on.
Thanks again!
