I was so bogged down at the point I sent that draft. Your comments helped so much.

Bob made me sad. Originally all this was meant to be was a story about Bob with his kids and it became so much more. He is an island, thinking he needs no one or nothing but at that point he's not living, he's surviving, but it's scary to let people in. He did deserve the punch, but had strong reasons for everything he did.

I'm thrilled you liked Frank and Jamia because I really enjoyed writing them.

It seems a theme of my stories will always be the Way brothers there for one another and Ray being strong and doing what he can to help people. I'm fine with that.

Thank you. For everything.
