All Comments on 'Family Isn't Blood - Fred's Life Ch. 06'

I can connect with this story on so many levels. But, my marriage, after two major 'bust-ups,' two kids, sometimes being separated by even being on two different continents:- We are still 'finding each other'. The passing years have mellowed us and priorities have changed; we miss so much those so special times we treasured so much. But we never divorced... couldn't do it! So we're a bit like Cathy & Mike - we cannot just walk away from each other. Next month I will be flying home.

Please try for another series... But all your stories are good reads.

I love my ethnicity, but there are aspects to my family's culture that outsiders would find odd, pointless, even boring. It is very difficult to communicate the richness of a given ethnicity unless you have lived it. Appreciate your effort, but I suspect you really have to have lived the ethnic Polish experience to get the most from this long tale. And its not very gratifying to be left outside the loop as a reader. I almost feel like an interloper here. I really appreciate the depth of your drama, emotions, and humanity. The sex got predictable and tiring, but that's just me. I wish you great success in future writing.

The story line was really a bit predictable but the detail was very well thought out. I must admit the last Chapter was very moving and as it was a "Romance" just right.

Part of reading others' stories is about seeing their lives, their worlds. I am related by marriage ( or blood ) or friendship to Lithuanians, Poles, Northern Italians, Southern Italians, and Central Italians, French, Germans, French Canadians, English, East coast wasps, Kentucky hillbillies, Polish hillbillies, Penn dutch, eastern and central European jews, SHITES, Irish,... DIS IS AMERICA

I like your stories.... this one was too drawn out, I skipped about half of it....

A six chapter story that could have been told in three maximum.
