Wow, Joe, this was incredible! I wanted to read it as part of the challenge, but I also happened to pull this link at random for a shout out on my podcast tomorrow, and I'm so glad I did!

I just finished writing up a full review for the show, so I'm eager for you to hear my thoughts, but suffice to say, this absolutely blew me away. It was equal parts genuine, hilarious, profound, and heart-wrenching. The characters were so real and believable that I felt like I'd known them their whole relationship. This is truly excellent writing, my friend!

Omgosh, you died in cargo shorts & sneezed. This made me giggle & wonder how people create such disparate versions of people. This is a fun read & has me questioning, was my dad who I remember him to be all at once.

Wow! That was great. You are such a skilled storyteller. I saw this challenge and began a story then stopped. It's funny how over time the narrative of some relationships can change in each other's minds. You nailed it.
