Oh my gosh, this is one of the most beautiful, nostalgic, and wonderful short stories I have read.  I loved the process of Ian finding out why Travis had left--and finding out that it was for completely different reasons than he had thought--and then changing his behavior to get his husband, the glue that holds their family together, back.  This was a true love story, about two people who are meant to be together, even though they had very real problems in the past, and about them changing their life together for the better, making it stronger than before.I love everything about this book--from the darkness of why Travis wants to see Ian once again, to where Travis was living, to Ian finding out why Travis had left, to the trip away and the swimming pool, to the ending, and everything I between.  I especially love Travis, and how he took care of everyone, didn't complain for a second, happy just to sacrifice and help those he loved be the best they could be.  I related to him a lot.This is a beautiful book with perfect messages: love is the most important; communication is key.  Very worth the short read, I bough this without the sample first, and absolutely love it.  It will stay in my memory.
