its like you summarize this mans life in this short story of yours.. very good..

Wonderful twist at the end.

I never thought it would end that way. Good illustration of all the things he did. And heh it’s amazing he’s still alive. But when it all came down to it his family truly loved him. :) 4 lapices!

I agree with The Silent Storm.
Sort of makes me wonder (even more) what stories older people could share.
