Jack was a real treasure and he helped make me the person I am today. Not to move on and rebuild my life would have been an insult to his memory. My Toyboys now number over 50, they are fine young men I met through blogging & Twitter (they age from 14 to 400). Some have wives or girlfriends but they are all in love with technology & Gm is a friend to all of them. bikehikebabe,

I collect Toyboys √√√√√√√√√√√√√√ (Bloggers are kidding you about that.) I commend you for putting your life back together, but nooooo-way can you ever find a ToyBoy like Jack.

I can't even begin to imagine how you felt. you conveyed it beautifully. I always get scared that I will never feel that strongly for someone I love. But reading something like this gives me hope, yet sadness in a way, that someday i will. I really cannot fathom. But your post was very moving. After all these comments, you probably don't even have time to read them, but i just wanted to say, I am sorry for what you have lost. And I thank you for your post. Best wishes, Emer my goodness. I can’t even begin to imagine how you felt. you conveyed it beautifully.
