NO!!!
Can't be over so soon! I was just getting comfortable with Jen (there's an disturbing 1-1 there) and you up and call it complete! S'not fair! :-(

Beautiful finish
Even with the horrible revelations, poor Marlene. Now they can be there for each other.

Awesome.
I think the whole story is awesome. Kinda sad it's over so quick though, but there's always hope you'll return to it again later ala Masks, so I'll hold out hope!
But overall my reaction is bessed summed up like this.
Sorry to see Jennifer go
This has to be a record for you Bailey. I think this is the shortest story of yours that I can remember reading. Other than the uncomfortable memories of real life it provoked I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Double-awwww
A really beautifully touching end to a deep and moving story.
Okay, so perhaps almost all of those words are synonyms for each other, but so what? :p
I loved the romance at the end and as a whole this story speaks to many of my experiences; many of my hopes and dreams; many of my fears and many of my heartaches.
This is a story I will come back to read when feeling down in the future- because it gives me hope and makes the world stop feeling like such a bad place.
Thank you so much for this gift of a wise, beautiful story.

True wisdom.....
Never have more true words been spoken - yes, true wisdom is seeing the love that you have for someone, and knowing that it's not just about the physical parts. Real love knows no bounds - it doesn't care about religion, or race, or nationality, or sex, or even gender.
When we all finally realize that, then maybe we will be able to say, "I will study war no more."
As usual Bailey, you had me fighting back tears through the entire chapter - beginning to end. This was a wonderful story, and a lovely way to express what the season is really supposed to be about.
Thank you for sharing this with me. Now if I can just stop crying, I can go finish clearing the snow from around my Christmas decorations!
Thanks again,
Dallas

very nice!
and maybe she will be out for a v-day story.
great wrap up, thanks
Thanks Bailey!!
Jen is finally allowed to be herself and be accepted for that!!
Makes my heart glad!!! The story ended at the right point!! Jen
accepted that she can live as herself and what more can we ask for!!
Hugs,
Pamela
P.S. Bailey I am so glad I am getting to see the real you, makes your
stories so much more for me!! <3
And as the curtains fall.....
We rest assuredly that Jennifer is in good hands and has a much brighter future ahead. The love of a good woman, and family. Bailey dear, thank you for this and Merry Christmas sweetie! Loving Hugs Talia
Nicely done Bailey!
Jen's very lucky to have the support of a loving and accepting family,girl friend and doctors. Far to few of us have that kind of support. What a difference a little bit of loving acceptance can make. Thank you for this heart warming story Bailey.
Hugs and Happy Holidays!
Tamara Jeanne
Come back soon
And write some more on this lovely tale.You had me in tears AGAIN.XXXXX
No, this was a Holiday contest write.
It's pretty good as is.
*Great Big Hugs*
Bailey Summers
Another wow!
Bailey Summers, this is another marvelous story. And another tear jerker. The clincher that this was another wonderful story, at least to me, were the actions of a innocent seven year old at the beginning of chapter one.
As with your other stories, it was easy to empathize with all the character.
To come up with these type of stories, and the others you've written, you must have the heart of a poet and the soul of an angel.
Others have feelings too.
I cried so much
reading this story. It says there's hope and love even when we don't realize it.
