I can never reread this story too many times. You totally got me crying!

Beautiful story. Lovely and sensitive and moving. I hope you’re still writing.

I loved this story. All those everyday moments add up to a life that deserves to be lived in the open, not hidden. Beautiful.

Loved it!

I love the way we got some backstory Lee and Billy, we got some backstory with Francine and Lee. And a little more insight to Lee’s interactions with his boys. And with Lee’s interaction when he was a boy with his uncle. This really was a great story. Heartwarming.

Beautiful story. We don’t do often get to see, hear, feel Lee’s thoughts and emotions. This was a lovely, well written story that I’m sure every SMK fan would love. Thank you for writing and sharing it with us.

Wow, really love how you have Lee baring his heart to his family.

What a delightful, beautiful exploration of moments that truely mattered with the people who brought color into his life.
Fabulous!

I read this in the Fanzine, and re-reading, I find I love it even more, if that's possible! Your insight into Lee's relationships with those he loves is inspired. I especially loved the glimpses into his relationship with his sons. This was very sweet and emotional. You're very gifted. Thanks for this beautiful story!

The very first time I read this in the Fanzine I was crying and inspired by Lee’s true emotions and feelings for Amanda and his family!

Dotty’s acceptance and love was truly important and heartwarming! He really cherishes having another Mom!

As I reread this I still have all those same feelings! Thanks for sharing this hear and allowing me to relay to you that I absolutely adored this story! God bless!

Excellent story! Thank you for writing this and sharing it.

I've already gushed about this story to you but I'm putting it out there so everyone else can see how much I enjoyed this heartfelt story. Anytime you get into Lee's head it's an amazing ride for all who get to read it, this was no exception. A very touching and emotional story that will remain one of my favorites. Great job, She!

Great story!

Love this story! It was so great to read in the fanzine that I read it again here. You answered some of the questions that I had thought of for years, and the thoughts and expressions of those thoughts by both of them is very poignant and well written. Thank you for writing this lovely story!

This was wonderful. You tapped into their varied emotions so well!
