Oh my. That's a hard read for me, I see myself and my brothers all over the place, both as children and as we are now.

Thank you, Rebel13. I think. This warrants a slower, deeper read later. :blush:

I've got them printed too, to read at home in the quiet. 

It's like peeling an onion, tears and all. Thank you for sharing
