Outside of the fact that I'm drowning in tears, this chapter has a lot of practical advice for anyone going through what Jamison is. And Iris needs someone with Jamison's strength as Gertrude will simply fall apart. Great chapter.

Jameson is such a wonderful person. His wife doesn't deserve him. I'm glad he and Irish found each other. I like this story.

"How was your weekend? " I ask. (You don't need 'I ask.' It's understood.)

Iris has given Jameson good advice here. He needs to protect his rights as a father since Claire will not talk to him about their situation. She is being unfair. Then she tells him she is dying and he is in shock. He has a deep feeling for Iris. They have a connection that will fulfill both Jameson and Iris's needs. Warm and moving conversation. I can feel their pain. Nancy:)

Oh no! The plot thickens. Such a cute relationship. I can identify to an extent as my partner is half my age. Beautiful writing as usual. To be honest, I think I want romance. I know you would handle it so sweetly.

    No romance. I'm not your girl for that. My romances usually end with someone dead. Lol. Thank you for the vote of confidence, though. Gretchen

This is a wonderful, emotional, sensitive story. You make it all sound so real but I guess you have come across these situations in the pharmacy and all that. Well done.

    Many situations. No words can help. Some people are accepting others are angry. Not sure how I would react. Thank you for this wonderful review. Gretchen

This is sad news about Iris and just as Jameson has found a good friend, she could be snatched away unexpectedly. Some truth has emerged here about Jameson's situation and how frustrating it is, your story is progressing nicely Gretchen, much enjoyed, love Dolly x x x

They are very fortunate to have found each other and I like that they can be very honest together. It's a very well written story which I find quite moving although it's not at all soppy. It's great.

    Thank you so much. I'm glad you like it. Sappy isn't usually my thing. So it's nice to know it isn't. Gretchen

Well, with the new commitment Jameson agreed to it looks like he will be drawn closer to Iris. And she is giving him some good legal advice that he would be wise to heed. His wife is using their son as ammunition.

well, pooh bah! I'm with Jameson. This is getting interestinger and interestinger :) My guess is that this responsibility for Iris is going to make him grow a bit, mature, and become stronger to face dear ole Claire.
We shall see.

    You are probably right. If we face adversity, strength usually comes with it. Thank you for this. Gretchen
