that it is well written(But then your stories always are).I could say that your characters seem to be real people(but then they always do).I could say many such things(but have already said them in the past).What I will say is that this story left me with a warm feeling and the thought that perhaps there is hope for humanity after all.
As always well written and the characters leap from the page as real people many of whom you would like to get to know. The story was intriguing and uplifting and so needed in in the times in which we live. The story gives one hope.
Thank You.

great story
wonderful story like most of DG's stories. The only minor complaint I have is that Grandpa had to push him into proposing, becuse he was to dumb to do it himself. Still a great heartwarming story.

Way To Go DG!
As Always your tales are excellent! The characters are real people and the events could be real also. You could have ended the tale with the marriage and everyone living happily ever after but that neat twist at the end shows the extra class you have and put into your work. Thanks again for sharing your talents with us!

Very Good
Thank you for writing, I check daily for stories and they are few and hard to find. Then you write a great one so maybe other writers will learn from you to try harder to write better. I'm 53 so maybe i'm from the old school, I just wish there were more good writers like you and better stories. Keep up the good work
Just a note to thank the readers for their heartwarming comments. You made one old mans day and he thanks you. I try and give you my best and want to thank you for your support.
With high regards

Mountain???!????
Dear Author! With this story you gave me a big mountain of sentimental crap! I'am very sorry - but you've proved in the past you can do much better. This one is simply stupid...----------Bavarian
Taking that boy in was a darn fine ending. It would have been so easy for him to have been bitter about the boy - his ex-wife's lover's son. +++
Mercy is a wonderful trait for anyone to have, and especially for some one who could easily have developed a sociopathic personality due to life's burdens. +++
I love the ending. Having them take Jerrold in as one of the famil is a great touch. Grandpa's little talk struck a real cord, both of my folks grew up on a farm and my wife and I are looking for a small one.
As a farm girl I know exsactly what you meant about farming being in the blood. A great story about how anyone no matter how life has treated them can do better. A great story!!
I have never enjoyed reading antything in my life more than I do your stories. Thank you for writing.

This story tied for the best in Literotica
This is the finest story in Literotica. Great writing skils and even better plot. I was waiting for the final shoe to drop but was so pleased with the perfect ending. Realdoc
I just finished reading your story for the second time and it again brought tears to my eyes. It was very inspiring, That Josh, successfully climbed seemingly unclimbable mountains . That he, in spite of extenuating circumstances, had compassion for a boy that was not his son and gave him an opportunity at a fulfilling life. That he was able to create for himself, his American dream and live his own very fulfilling life with a loving wife and family.
You successfully under-lined the values that many of us have lost track of, and wrapped it all up in a very well written story. That takes skill and an understanding of the human psyche, both of which you have in abundance. Thanks for a great read and keep up the excellent writing.

Excellent Story
Great character development. I really cared about Josh and Sherry. Good story line and subplots. You wove the story lines together well and wrapped up each line at the end. I especially liked how you re-introduced Jerrold.
I've read many of your stories and you are one of my top three favorite writers. Please, write more Romance stories and the longer, the better. I'll read pretty much anything you write.

Great Tale
I have read nearly all your romance tales and this is by far the best, I found it one of those stories that you couldn't walk away from and the end was brilliant it brought tears to my eyes. You have done a good job bringing your stories to life and it feels like I am sitting in the middle watching it happen all around me. Just keep up the good work and please more romance, it is really feel good time and make tomorrow a lot brighter than what it might have been.
DGH can really write, but this is one of the best stories on the site. Reads even better the 2nd time (I hadn't read it since it was originally posted). Well done!

Tremendous! Awesome!
I was looking for ... you know.... sex! And there is sex.... but sooo much more. This is one of the best stories I've ever read. I couldn't STOP reading it... It made me cry, it made me laugh! It let me feel the love between the couple. But more... it was deeply touching and moving. Simply Tremendous...
I think it has the potential of being a great movie! Does anyone else agree?
Thank you, sir, for a great story!
bigguy323 kinda snapped me back to the grandfather's attitude. The quote of "fucking kid" was not very nice even if the kid wasn't meant to hear it. I think however that the grandad could see that his grandson was going to become a thug if he didn't mend his ways, and he could not condone it by letting him stay. On the other side of the coin, however, his lack of displaying love for his grandson could have been partly what drove his grandson to get into more trouble at school. I'm not sure; yes, he could have gotten in trouble anyway. Seems like a catch-22: lose either way. It seems like he did snap out of in the long-run; thank goodness for the prison rehab group that got him on probation. Thanks for the read! :) I think I've read almost all your stories now as of this time and date, and I have mixed feelings about your work, but on the whole it is very good. You experiment a lot with story lines, and I think it's unappreciated by people who think you should change everything just to fit their tastes and that you probably condone and participate in similar activities such as being cuckolded, which is a ridiculous notion, haha. I will check your stories from time to time if you write more. Once again, thank you for writing! :)

BORN IN A TRAP
Hi Sir Chris over here, I just got 2 words for you "FIVE STARS"
Sir, You kill everytime, you pick up the pen. This story is CLASSIC.
Few lines on the people who were born in a trap.
"Guess we was evil since birth, product of cursed semens, Cause even our birthdays is cursed days....!"
I note that my favourite author has made a comment earlier on this comment trail. His strength (apart from his humour) is that the children in his stories actively participate rather than stay in the shadows like 97% of the other authors on this site have 'their' kids do.......as if their stories have no effect on them at all....BS!
IMHO, you've nailed their parts and dialogue perfectly in this story.
Who would think that a reader would come to this site to read a story like this. Thank you for your contribution - I'm going to have to read the rest of them now....dammit!

He finally caught some good luck and it really turned out right. Farming is hard work, I was raised on one and got away from it as soon as I could. Big mistake, oh well, live and learn. I would like a farm now to live on, not to farm. I will just be content with my 2.6 acres including a small lake. It is really nice and I will leave it to my oldest son who has lived with us about six years. Thank you again for the great story.
and very well told...at least he finally got his act together and made a name for himself and married a great girl....I like the sentiment that grand father spoke about farming and families being together and eating and talking together...something sadly lacking in today's society of high tech...well done..you write some excellent stories and some real turkeys which you should delete as they do nothing for your skills...

Grandpa was an asswipe. If he had been half a man when the kid needed him a lot of pain could have been avoided.
I don't see any reason why he changed. You'd do well to go into that sometime.
