You are able to do what really fine fiction writers do: With just a few words, a complete personality is drawn by your potent prose: "Quick to smile, quicker to cry," is emblematic of your truly gifted way of conjuring a lonely, messed up kid. However, it was a bit depressing as it gave me flashbacks of my Mother.

As a fatherless son, I can relate to the exploration of masculinity without a male presence. I bretended to be what I thought masculinity was, until I eventually became my own man, just 30 short years later.

Wonderful, Jimmy, wiping away the tears.
