your story made me cry. you are so right, a father will always be a father. some are lucky enough to have their fathers in their life. I am one of those lucky ones. my dad's had three heart attacks and i fear for him every day, but more then that i love him and appreciate him and let him know it ever chance i get. your story was very emotional but at the same time it remained true to the personalities of the characters (Naruto is moody sometimes when he's alone, you pegged him perfectly)I think you did a great job. now if you'd please excuse me, i have to go huge my dad...

I won't praise you for your work but I will compliment your talent you describe things not in depth but in an expressive tone. You don't have to keep describing the situtation to make people understand! The mood was perfect and you draw in your readers like you drew in me! When I write my stories I try to see myself in the characters eyes to capture they're feelings! In short beautiful story with a lovely rhythm!

Very thought provoking. And your note at the end is good advice.
