it made me smile. So much meaning behind one thing. Great job(: <3 KR, Lillian.
A really great story that took me back a lot of years, as something I can truly relate to.
I enjoy reading all your stories, and this one really hit home.
Please keep up the great writing.
From a very happy U.K. old timer.
This is the best I have ever read from you. Your talent is amazing. Thank you.
I wish to welcome you under your new name and say I have always been a fan. You have not lost the touch. This is really about an 85, just a sweet little story.
I didn't have brothers. But you can believe that my sons looked after their sisters. A nice reminder of when it is time to fight and what to fight for.
I almost passed over this story, because it just didn't "look interesting". But instead, it's good material and a serious life lesson. Nice work!

i'm not a writer,but i love to read good stories.
I Wish more Fathers could do that for their sons (and daughters too ); we might be a great country again some day.
I have read a great deal of your stories and am guilty of being a statistic voting often but not commenting often enough. I appreciate that the leading motivation to your characters actions is always love. Words are just that, but with love they touch us and involve us in the experience. So thank you for taking me through another tale and showing another lesson that a lot of people would benefit from learning. keep em coming please. Dan
A really great story with a lesson to be learned. I like your concise writing style and your characters are alive. Keep em coming.
On right and wrong and the power of right - if you work at it.
You earn respect and you have to draw lines - one grows from living within the other - as well as respecting other's right to draw their own - as long as they do not infringe on what is rightfully yours.
But in a world of human beings you need to be able to defend your baseline - always.
Nicely done -
I reread this story and it's close to the use of force model for all police officers. You use only what level of force is needed to protect yourself and members of the public from death or physical harm. We got that training every year of the 30 years I was an Officer. That's why there is no reason or excuse for those that start violence or use too much force just because they can. Bullys need to be educated as well in school. They are looking for attention, and such training would be attention if they were taught to protect smaller and weaker peers instead of bulling them. I am sure they might even learn to be proud doing it. I sure was...
I Also have reread this story and find the core of what this contry should be about. Defend yourself when you have to and those who cannot, Those who are in uniform do it on a daily bases.
. . . but I don't get Nancy marrying Frank after what he did.
Beat up the rapist ,who wasn't remorseful until his Dad got into the picture.
And then your ok with your sister marrying,it's your story but sheesh.
Nice change of pace from the cheating fodder. Not often, but sometimes in real life, AHOs do change. OldBearSwitch
Well done lesson. Short & sweet. I loved it. A 5.😊😊😊😊😊
