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!
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!
Incredibly clever, actually. Telling a story through the lens of something as innocuous yet deep as the "Art wall." And it was all told from an outsiders' perspective, without dialogue or meeting the family. Wonderful, really.
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.

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 😁
Another wonderful and powerful story !! So gifted with your writing!!

Great read. Thank you.
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.
What the hell, Justin?!!! 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
So good. 🥲

Great heartwarming story Justin!

Simple, down to earth writing stirring such complex memories and emotions. As always, Justin, well done!
