The freedom to “be” comes at a cost but once paid its a pittance for the treasure you describe so well. Nicely written, Jim.

Your list is marvellous in its description and brevity. And also a springboard for the reader to imagine their own small things which are loved. Bravo!

Damn, this is good! It held me from the first line. The tension you create is palpable. Some exceptional prose and techniques such as the unspoken half delivered comments from your mother... "My mother spits a figure" ... "his eyes liquid just like the colour of the cheap whisky he's drinking" brilliantly executed.

Never ending is the truth of it Ken. The US has been at war since ww11 continuously! From 1940 til today and they just keep going!thats a continuous state of war for over 80 years. I think they're trying to beat the 100 years war! If they are we just stopped all this madness there'd be more then enough money to make everyone in the world a decent life.

Ken, I fully understand!those men and women were heroes. They were labeled "communist". But they knew that Facism had to be stopped. In Canada we sent a bunch over also or rather that volunteered then made their way there on their own. These was no government involvement before or after. Hemingway had the right of it when he wrote For Whom The Bell Tolls. It Tolls For Thee! We're each accountable for a personal watch and war against tyranny!
BRAVO ZULU YOUNG REBEL!

Ah Thomas; the sights, sounds, pageantry and prayers of the liturgy of midnight mass when under the fog of a winter cold. Or too many Christmas Eve libations! This work is alive with the passion of Catholicism
