Well written, yes. sigh

thank you for the vote of confidence here...I think LOL. I knew that this story was going to be one that upset a few people...hell, I read it aloud to my wife, just to see how it sounded. It was hard for me to do....the emotions tied up in this event have been with me for a long time.
I joined the Isle of Write Discord too. Hopefully I can get better learning form you all.
And wow...worse than Old Yeller huh.....I must've done something right lol
