I really enjoyed this story and the ending was really sweet. I hope you consider writing a wedding day one-shot featuring Ryan and Shawn. Thanks for sharing this with us and I loved it!

I saw your story a few days ago, but just found the time now to start reading it. I just finished the first chapter. Usually I wouldn't r&r until the last chapter, but I wanted to tell you that this first chapter was so powerful. I was in tears from the moment Shawn's mom was introduced to the last sentence where Ryan's best gift was Shawn saying his name.
Of course a quarter of the way through the chapter I knew that Shawn had SM. My youngest was diagnosed with it his last year of preschool. Spent two in preschool never saying a word. Wouldn't play at recess, wouldn't eat lunch; it made him too uncomfortable. We eventually put him on meds and now at almost fourteen you can't get him to shut up. But only at home. He still has social anxiety.
So I can definitely relate to Shawn's anxiety. This chapter was so raw and emotional. I'm a bit upset with Shawn's dad though; ok, it's been two years. I know he's upset and the holidays suck, but he has a child to look after. He can't spend his time wallowing in his self-pity. He needs to take care of Shawn. Shawn will spend his life hating Christmas not only b/c of his mom dying, but b/c his father is too wrapped up in his own pity party to take care of him.
I applaud Ryan's mom; she's the best. Shawn needs an adult in his corner.
I also want to applaud YOU for writing a story that's very well-written, free from typos, grammatical errors and punctuation (or lack of) errors. Great job! :)
Ok, on to chapter two!
Happy holidays!

Amy, that was one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read. The story was just amazing. I hated to see it end.
You have a terrific writing style and I hope to read more from you in the future.
