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:

Yes, I hear you!  I printed out the last two so I can highlight and copy parts into my journal.

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
