I loved the way you made the picture alive and gave it soul. Great story, amazingly went with the pic.
The emotion in this was strong, the loss of a brother, and blaming yourself for that.
I told Daddy I wanted to be an architect, and Daddy gave me a kick in the shins.
It made me think about parents and their favorites. That's just so wrong. Parents shouldn't live their lives through their children.
Then again, all Daddy ever was was a farm boy.
Maybe that's why he never understood his son's wish of becoming something his father didn't approved.
I wasn't a failure, my Daddy just couldn't leave that six pack be. I wasn't destined to be a farm boy, I was an architect.
I loved the way the boy grew up, how he matured and decided to take the destiny that was given to him and embrace it. To be what he wanted to be.
Overall it was an amazing story and I really enjoyed reading it.
Simple yet the emotions seemed so true. Well done. :)
