Don,
I enjoyed your story – “My hero my Dad.”
The tribute you gave your Dad was most thoughtful and deserving. While reading the story, there were things you did in your youth that reminded me of the same things – like rising early in the morning to check on traps. With me it was muskrats and skunks. I suppose people of our generation did things like that.
Concerning the Shriners, they are a large organization and I’m wondering if you every contacted them. Your story would be of interest to them. It would also provide an opportunity to promote your books.

Abe,

I almost forgot about the skunks…LOL, they were sure an unpleasant surprise in the traps.

Yes, I am in contact with the Shriner’s. I on the alumni board here in the Chicago area.

This is a great story, one I read when it first appeared on Amazon Shorts. Like Don's dad, mine was a Shriner so he would have loved this story. It is one I recommend to every reader.

It was great, Don. I have been skipping around in the anthology so just read it this morning. (I am trying not to read it all at once.)

Ditto on enjoying the story, DJ.

Your dad sounded a lot like mine. It made me remember and smile.

If everyone had parents who supported them like we obviously did, the would wouldn't be as cruel. Every child deserves a father like yours. Not all get that blessing.
