Wayne,

It seems as though we are getting closer to winding this up. I liked that you put in the story of Ohmie's grandmother's birthday cards to her son. It fleshes out "Dad's" character as well.

I am glad that Ohmie is coming to know of his father's love for him. They are certainly getting around, but home sounds good, although his father won't be there. Well written.

Well, this seems to be a transitional post as Ohmie and his mother are planning to return home. However, there seems to be a lot of unresolved emotions in Ohmie and I wonder if he will see his father again.

This is written well. You do a good job taking the reader through with Ohmie. We get a got idea of his thoughts and through him and his observations of his mother, we can see what she is like and her mood.

Well, I didn't think things were going to be that easy for Ohmie and his mom, and I was right!

We're seeing a more loving side of dad and a more dangerous side of the Company business.

Good chapter:-)

    Dad is maturing into fatherhood - a bit late, though.
    Thank you for the great review.
    I loved Lessons in the Key of Life and wrote an Amazon review. I've heard of great teachers, just never had one.

We seem to be back where Ohmie is a boy with cancer, but his mother tells him his fayjer cates for him, despite the fact that.he doesn't show any emotion, but his mother assures him that he does, but they are safe from assassins, beautifully written Wayne, Blessings Roy

    Thank you for the review.
    But I could not interpret - his fayjer cates
    Is it father something?

Everybody's zipping off in all direction with different agendas. It's neat. Like being on a roller-coaster. Kate xx
Perhaps: on the drive I saw > during the drive I learned (I was totally confused and thought you meant when he went out to the driveway. Probably just coz I'm from the wrong side of the pond)

    That is a confusing pond, for sure.
    I can see how it could be confusing even on this side.
    I wonder if Oriental languages have homonyms. (drive/drive)
    Thank you for the review.

    could have been a computer drive also given the story... as I said, I was confused. K

    Grrr.
    As I wondered, do Oriental pictures of words have the issues that plague English speakers?

    I'm not sure but my gut reaction would be no
