There’s so much I could say on this chapter. So much. It was a wonderful ending. I’m so glad that this tough situation brought Theo and Reef together. It is really serious but they bond over it… together. It reminds me of Coopervega and Roddy, except there isn’t a bad circumstance forcing them to work together. It’s more intense and it’s really good. It was a phenomenon alright, one that brought a lot of people together. One that tore a guy out of his grief. One that made a guy realize just how much he could accomplish, and that he could turn over a new leaf with his passionate dad and a devious rabbit. It was fun and it was funny but it was also serious and there was a great lesson to learn. These boys definitely came of age. The comment about this making them closer than brothers warmed my heart, it’s so true too.

Guys, I’ve been so grateful for this thread. Even though I didn’t say something every day I read them all the time and it just means so much to me. This has gotten me as active in the Forum as I used to be two years back. Now it’s a new year, a new leaf, and it’s off to a great start. This book, MIXED UP, is amazing, Gord. Raymond, thank you for the idea. Thank you for executing. Jena, thank you for your thoughts! Y’all are both great to listen to. Gord, thanks for popping by. This thread is almost as long as Sorry for Spam by now, it’s insane. Thanks for bringing the Forum back to life.

This thread has been a bright spot in my life since July. Through the bickering with my mom (not anything serious, just normal teenage daughter vs. mom stuff), it gave me something to look forward to in the time between us making up. It gave me something to look forward to after my chores. After my homework. A bright spot in my life. This MIXED UP “Book Club” has brought me so many things.

I remember it being July. July 14th or so, and reading the date “August 29th”, it seemed so far away. Ages away and ages into the school year. But it’s here, now. A whole month of MIXED UP.
Thank you.

Be blessed,

Jade
