^ I know! It's just so hard, because you know for me the easiest and most realistic relationship to write about was Kevin and Nick. Maybe he'll come back someday? lol
It's not like they don't have a relationship outside of the group, you could write about that. The guys on downtime visiting, or just work him back into the story as a "brother". Just because he's not in the group anymore, doesn't mean that they don't have brotherly relationship. Nick said in some interviews last year that they saw each other with the new baby, and christmas and superbowl, so they still have a tight relationship.
It was hard for me to write about anything because Kevin and Nick's relationship in the group was inspiring most of my stories. But then I started writing about Kevin being outside of the group, but still being involved with the guys and their lives. I really think he still is, esp. with Howie's Dad's health now, you know he's got be helping with that because he went through that himself. And he's always going to worrying about Nick, based on what we've seen, I don't think he could ever just shut that off. lol
It's a challenge, but it's fun to write it from that perspective too... Basically I'm just trying to get you to reconsider retirement. lmao
