All Comments on 'Black Friday'

Heartwarming ❤️

Jenny reminded me of our Shetland pony, Dapple Dan. We used him to pull our miniature wagon delivering their Girl Scout cookies, in addition to the Christmas caroling and 4th of July parades. Good days, good memories. Thank you for bringing them back for me.

Your imagination and writing talent constantly amaze me (and truth be told, leave me a little jealous. This story reminded me of two memories from my life: where my dad grew up they had a lot of hickory trees and as a little boy we would harvest them. Years later we planted a couple rows of walnut trees. When they grew larger and began to put out nuts we would harvest them. My dad would put them in his cement mixer with gravel and water which would remove the husk. During the winter he would sit in his woodshop watching tv and cracking nuts! Mom would use some in baking or making homemade walnut/ vanilla ice cream. Many times your stories remind me of happy times from my past which add even more value to your tales. Thank you Q.

If the saying "the pen is mightier than the sword" holds true, then you sir are He-man...!

A lovely gentle story. Great to read and guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes.

Shucks, I'm a grumpy 71 year old great grand pa...... Not usually very emotional at all. But this little fluff tale brought me both smiles & even glassy eyes in the space of 30 minutes .

Good job....... I like emotional jabs OR caresses, even if I seldom react. Thanks for the entertainment.

This is probably the best short stay I have enjoyed on this site. It is short but immensely satisfying. This one definitely goes to my favorites!

Finished the story only to see I last read it only 4 months ago. Thank you for your tales Q.

I'm going to read all of your stories, I enjoyed this one quite a bit. 5 Stars for sure

Very enjoyable story. A real feel good story. Very good!

Damn, you are sooo good at these sweet romantic stories. I swear you could make a mint as a hallmark movie writer (a very small mint because I doubt there's a lot of money for screenwriters of hallmark channel movies). 5*

Thank you for a sweet story.

Wonderful and beautiful story. Definitely a five star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Nice story.

well done as per your norm

Lovely story, no nasties.

Lovely, I just wish we were able to give more than five stars!

Made me happy and weepy at the same time! You are the one!

This little story is gold to me. I can relate to quite a bit of it, still waiting on the better part to happen to me but I'm in no rush. Thanks for delivering a really good read...!

A masterpiece story and excellent development of the plot.

Again hire a good editor.

Really nice “fluff”. More of the same once in a while would be nice.

Re-read #1 and, like helmsman0305, would like to have more stars to award. However, I will say this: I would never consider this "fluff". This is the kind of existence known only as fantasy in places like Ukraine!

Thanks for producing a story that can lift people's hopes.

Very, very well done. Thank you.

Ain't much question about it, old Q is some kind of a masterful story writer. Many thanks to the Master.

Another lovely story, Q. The only downside for me is wishing my life had been that successful.

Wonderful story, 10 stars isn't close! Wish my life was like that, even though I have a good life...

Close but not perfect…

If yer a farmer, the tree / nut is a Peekan!

And if’s yooze a true Southern sort, it’s a Karo Nut pie, not pecan pie.

…. Ahhh, memories…. Oh BTW the story was worth way more than five sparklers, but this outfit is a bit miserly with its awards.

don't` know how many times I've read this and your other stories but it's more than twice. Thank you for some great stories, I promise I'll never ask for a refund!

I don't give out many 5's, this one earned a solid 5 - keep them coming ---

Great story without a cheating spouse or a BTB. As a stepdad I appreciate the perspective this was done in.

I got a real kick out of all the crying, and the MC’s reaction to it. This was a fun story, and I like big families.

Good light hearted read. Thanks!

It’s nice to find a feel good story once & a while. This is surely one of them.

Just out of the blue I got nailed by the lung cancer in this story. My wife of over fifty years just had her first chemotherapy & radiation therapy last week.

It sure does throw a damper life.

Well worth the read⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One if the doctors wants the overweight plain face to go out for the weekend.....just another skank!!

So where was Amy while he taking flabby and her daughter out??

MC is a stupid cuck being bossed around by all the women around him

Frank must be really desperate for the doctor's whore

Seriously? The Dolly llama.Love it.So did my friend that has a lifestyle block with a herd of alpaca when I told him. He's going to name his next breeding hembra (female) Dolly.

Please don't call it fluff. My second reading of this story and it was quite moving as well as being entertaining. It was also refreshing to find 'normal' characters as the male MC and his female companion. The MC lacking hair and even having a paunch, and her slightly pair shaped without mention of big boobs and legs that go on forever or even mention of a great ass! Just two normal people who weren't kids anymore and happened to find each other. They lived and loved and had a loving family and kids who weren't blood and that didn't matter. A little bit of this story tells mine. At 40 never expecting to remarry I did and t lasted almost 40 years. I have 6 children only one of them a blood relative. I love them all and they all know there are no 'steps' in my house.More like this please! A wonderful story! Thank you.

Please ignore these anons they obviously don't have the capacity to appreciate good writing without pages of sex scenes.

One of the most talented writers on Lit, and this story doesn't disappoint either! Read most of your stuff, still a few more to go, and loved them all--great job!

Heartwarming story. Just made me feel good about life. Thank you. BardnotBard

Amazingly wonderful story.

More please.

Warm fuzzy feelings. The storyteller can really weave a tapestry of family values... (better than BTB)

You are right about your fluff comment, still a good read. Well done

Thank you. Nice well thought and presented story.

I think it's a lovely charming tale, NOT fluff at all. Thanks.

Wonderful.

Beautiful

How nice it is to read a story that does not focus on sex or some weird ass thing. Just realstic normal human behaviour. A nice comfortable read instead of a life of sex love lost betrayal revenge etc.

harmless bit of fluff ?? i don't think so . damn good story,lots of real life in it. good and bad,happy and sad . just like life .

AH HA Getting to like all of your stories Some good some soso but a good read I must still be a bit of a romantic as I like it when there is a good ending (jaybee186)

A lovely story, almost angst-free. Five stars. On a q kick at present.

Good fluff.

Fluff....maybe, but give me more!. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Not fluff. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks.

Great memories of extended families Thanksgivings with the woman pawing through the Christmas ads! Thank you Q. 5 stars

This is a terrific story from a talented author. Please continue writing like this one.

Good story, easy read and well written. I’m a sucker for happy endings. Congratulations

I reread this about once a year. It's one of my favorite short stories. Thanks for the great works.

Dumb asshole Frank raising bastards that's not his blood children and ended up with the fat cheating doctor's cunt Debbie. Not worth rating this fucking shitshow

Great story. Love it. AAAAAA++++++

"She was standing outside the door on her phone."??

How come her phone was big enough to have a door in it?

Super! Donkey was great too

So,when did Debbie quit work?.

Great story. So real and only one complete waste of space in the comments. The characters were so lovable and just deep enough to be real.
