I think if Anthony's relationship with his ex-wife had been the real deal there might have been less jealousy and disconnect going on. My husband and I dated in high school several years before we re-connected after his divorce. People comment it is because it was meant to be and maybe so, I love him dearly, and it is a romantic tale. I feel strongly though that if his relationship with his ex was true love he would have forgotten entirely about me. The relationship, like Anthony's, was infused with jealousy for another person. Anthony is not blameless here, but at least is taking responsiblity. Elizabeth has a chance to learn something here too. People trash her for being self centered and goodness knows she is, but find me a twenty-something year old that isn't!! That is the exact age for self exploration etc, before settling down. Our Lizzie simply takes it to a higher level is all, she always has April and Michael to put her in her place!

One of my best friends has a three-year-old daughter who has an amazing vocabulary, a very sophisticated imagination, and a capacity to reason things out that's very advanced for her age. (She reminds me of a younger version of the adult-ish Peanuts kids!) Certainly not all children are as "grown-up" as early as Francie, Merrie or my friend's daughter, but some are.

I love how "fired up" everyone gets discussing Anthony and Liz! It's almost like dicussing "Who Shot J.R." or some major movie cliffhanger.

I don't care for Anthony, but... if they were my friends, I'd let them do their own thing. You can lead the horses to water, but it's really tough to drown them. :)

Please update us on Grandpa. Since the monthly letters ended, there are so many open-ended questions to answer. His health is one of the top questions, in my opinion.

Thank you for all you (and the entire FBoFW team) do for your fans!

In the past Liz was drawn as a more active character. Her facial expressions just seemed more true-to-life. Since she has been dating Anthony, she always has this wide-eyed expression and is looking up to Anthony. This implies helplessness and dependence, and I really DISLIKE how Liz is being drawn right now. It is as if the "real" Liz, the independent and competent teacher, has been replaced by "Sappy Lovesick Zombie Clone" Liz. Give Liz back her old look, let her wear her hair down. I think I could tolerate Anthony better if he just ONCE acknowledged that he made a big mistake rushing to get married when he wasn't over Liz. AND if he sincerely apologized to Therese for being emotionally unfaithful to her from the beginning of their marriage.
