Gosh! Thanks, Switchlord!
I'm really glad you enjoyed the story (and endured it, too!); and I'm really glad you love and hate me as a result!
As I've said on here before, the stories I like best are those which allow you to journey with the characters as they experience life in all its joys and challenges. That's why it's heartening to hear how you were able to connect to the characters in my story, to my characters, into whom I poured a lot of time and emotion!
So, thank-you, once again, for taking the time and effort to pass on your kind comments!
