I really appreciate you reading and responding, Jim! That is high praise coming from you. Thank you so much! Also, I see your new story in my inbox. Can’t wait to dive in!
What a beautiful telling of the tale through the artwork on the string. I really enjoyed how you told the story through the eyes of the postman. Thanks for brightening my day!
Thank you so much for reading and responding. I hear you regarding happy endings. I felt compelled to write one for the same reason, and I’m thrilled you enjoyed it!
Spotted this on the Today in Fiction section Justin! Congrats! Really lovely story that has lingered in the reader's mind (and heart!) It's basically food for the soul!
I got a chill at the end there, Justin. The good kind of chill. I like the perspective--solely through the eyes of a caring, respectful observer. Beautiful story.
A wonderful story with multiple layers of depth, Justin! I like that you told a story within a story through the eyes of an observer. Very powerful. Thanks for sharing!
So beautiful Justin. I love the way the art wall tells the story. You are so very clever, and your sensitivity as a man and a father really shines through on this one.
Thank you so much, Sharron. I appreciate you reading my work and leaving such thoughtful comments! For some time I’ve been wanting to tell a story in this manner and I finally went for it. Really happy you enjoyed this one! 😊
Thank you, Patricia. I’m sorry to hear that. 🙏Likewise. It’s horrible to witness and watch others go through. I really appreciate you reading this one!

Wow! Really nice, Justin!

Not just a great story, but a great telling of the story. And the ending makes me realize; there's been a shortage of happy endings lately...

A lovely heart warming story, Justin. Really beautifully done. And, hey, I’m 52 and still keep finding things that surprise me 😁
Thank you so much for the kind words, Daniel. I didn’t mean anything by it, promise! 😄 I appreciate you reading!

Oh wow, thanks so much for the kind words and for letting me know the news, Chris! That’s exciting! 😀
Great read. Thank you.
Thank you, Colin. Very much appreciated!
Beautiful. I love the more minimalist approach, the story tells itsself and it has room to breath even if it means I'm holding mine.
That is a huge compliment. Thank you so much, JRQ!
What the hell, Justin?!!! 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
So good. 🥲
Thank you so much, my friend! I had no choice…this one poured out! 😄🥲

This one hits home. I've had a few family who beat cancer and a few who haven't.
