Thanks for the comments, Tara and cp33.
At least for now, I don't have a sequel planned. Much of the early parts of this story were autobiographical and were written as therapy of sorts to help me work through my feelings. Part 9 (and what ever I write for part 10) is purely fictious. While I am definitely feeling better, I'm not sure happy baby stories would be easy for me to write right now (both due to lack of experience and general mental wellness), so for now at least, I'm going to put this to bed. But I'm thrilled that you liked this enough to even want a sequel. Thanks!
