Nope, had to look it up -- I discovered him on my honeymoon in HI. Jeebus, I want to go back there so freaking badly!!
Author's Response: Well, DON'T go in January! You can't have a bad time in Hawaii but the weather was certainly not what I expected.

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole? GET OUT! OK, I'm too excited about the CD choices. I rarely recognize the obscure music folks mention in fic. That ought to get Jim's parents up and around in no time.
BTW, the rest of this story is really compelling, too.
Author's Response:
You go, girl! I will be SERIOUSLY impressed if you tell me you just TYPED his name and didn't have to copy & paste it! I know I couldn't do it!
Anyway I LOVE Iz, too! Just got back from two weeks in Hawaii, where they play him nonstop. I was inspired to do a little research and get some of his earlier albums. I discovered that he was part of the Hawaiian cultural renaissance in the '70s. If you haven't heard any of his music with Mäkaha Sons Of Ni`Ihau, go out to Amazon and do a search on the group's name. I'm buying some!
And thanks for the review! I really appreciate it.

VB, this story is so well done. I know it hits home for me, as I'm sure it does for others--how invaluable to have someone to guide you through a crisis situation. Looking forward to more. Your details are really excellent.
Author's Response:
Thanks, NanReq! You are officially my favorite reader! Every chapter, you make a nice comment!
As for the details ... it's easy when you write what you know.

Author's Response: Thanks! Soon, I hope.

Arrrgh! I hate it when I get into a story and read the whole thing in one go and then have to wait. This is a great story!! I need to know what happens! Please update soon!!
Author's Response:
I know what you mean! Drives me crazy, too. I'll try to get a chapter up every 1 - 3 days. I'm soon getting to the point where I have to make some storyline decisions, so it might slow down just a little bit.
Thanks for the kind words.

hmmm... sounds like pam knows a lot about this hospital stuff ;-P ... guess we'll find out why eventually?
I'm loving this. I have a weak spot for hurt/comfort stories. Please keep it coming. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response:
Actually, you'll find out very soon! Unfortunately, I do have a lot of experience with hospitals, so Pam's knowledge will be pretty detailed.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review!

Pam is so great for making that list for Jim, cause I can't imagine him thinking clearly right now. Although, that line about his parent's phone book (not the white pages) made me giggle. =)
Author's Response: You know, I didn't write that line to be funny. But, now that I read your comment, I can see that it kind of is. Thanks, FinerThings!

This is so great - I'm on the edge of my seat for more!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'll try to keep you there for a while!

Aww, tearful!Jim breaks my heart. He seems so lost and sad... I'm glad he has Pam though for support. Loved the line Could you be my - wife?. =)
Author's Response: It's a rough thing to go throush, watching your parents like this. I fear it will get worse for our boy, Jim, before it gets better. Pamela will be a lot of suport, indeed!

Can't wait to read more!!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I hope to have the next chapter up in a day or so.

Nice turn of events - really looking forward to how this story develops!
Author's Response: Thanks! I have a few more twisty turns in mind...

We've waited so long to here those words... " Could you be my - wife?" Ha!
Author's Response: Yup. Bet if there was no writer's strike we would've heard them out of JK's lips by now. Sigh.

I'm really enjoying this. I really like how you described the imapct of everything on Jim and I also liked how Pam held back offering herself up immediately to Jim. So very believable. I am looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad it's coming across as believable.

This story is amazing so far. I can't wait for more, does that make me masochistic? ;-)

Whew. That was so good. Such great dialog.
Author's Response: Thanks, NanReq. I worry sometimes that I go overly heavy on the dialog. I'm glad to hear you liked it.

Oh poor Jim!! Those injuries sound terrible.

I'm on the edge of my seat..
I'd say you did your job creating tension - I can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! The tension will continue for a while ... when I can post again.

OH MY GOD!! You can NOT leave me hanging like this. I need to know what happened.
This is really well written and I am enjoying reading something where Pam will be the "hero". Can't wait for more.
Author's Response:
I'm sorry. Gotta leave you hanging for a little while. We are on vacation ... in HAWAII ... and our computer has crapped out. I'm at an internet cafe for a few minutes now but can't update till some time next week.
Thanks for the nice comments. Pam will be the hero here!

Guh. Update soon, PLEASE!!!! I'm tense! Jim's ringtone for his mom was a really sweet idea.

Love it! hope it's not too long of a wait until the next chapters. I don't usually get hooked by the prolouge....but with this I am! Keep it coming!!
Author's Response: Unfortunately, it probably will be a while before there is an update. We're leaving for vacation tonight! Will be gone for 2 weeks. I just didn't want to wait to post. This has been mulling around in my mind for weeks now...
