I read this again, with more focus, and it brought tears to my eyes. Divorce is never easy on kids but parents can make it easier. I'm not sure I ever did a good job, myself. But this story deserves wide distribution. And your writing is excellent. I love this: "my telling of the many childhood stories clamoring for attention, anecdotes melting into a mural of my childhood," Well done, Kay!
Kay, This is very well written. I don't think I'd ever heard this story. Especially about your father and his leaving. I had a set of pistols just like yours.. And I think a Davey crockett hat
I remember getting my tonsils up too. We got ice cream..

Your tears touch my heart. It's a tricky story to tell, as you know. Thanks for appreciating the words I string together. Your my fav fan :)

Yep, I had a Davey Crockett raccoon hat too, but no ice cream after my tonsillectomy .
Fabulous!
