Thanks for a wonderful, beautiful story, SuperBek! I love it! Clark and Jon touched my heart. I’m very happy that Jon wasn’t imagining talking with his dad. Clark’s arrival and Jon’s reaction was touching.

Like so many others, I hope you write a sequel. I would love to know what happens next. Clark was gone for a long time. He has a lot of reconnecting and rebuilding to do. You could always write the sequel from Clark’s POV.

Thanks for sharing this touching take!
