Shaina, always so very amazed by the unfettered talent that you bring to these episodes. Mr. King should be thrilled and honored! And I always feel like I have been served the heart and soul of the story. This time it's definitely a bitter meal from King that you serve in your breakdown of this story. It's such a tragedy of passive neglect and indifference that he doesn't realize he is drowning under! Even this description, although isolated from the story directly, raises a pain in my spirit and a tear to my eye...
This honestly was a tough story to read. The regret and the sacrificed connections really hit home. I think many men can also relate to the feeling that they should have been with a relative or a girl when they had to push forward in their careers. There always seems to be an excuse to abandon people in the pursuit of success. This story reminded me of those in my own past who fell by the wayside either by failing to launch or dying early. You always wonder if you could have saved them. I’m sad to hear of your own personal story of loss. I tried to click the link but it was “private” so don’t know how to access it. There was a recent suicide of a friend’s relative and this was a timely piece that those who remain carry a heavy burden for life just as the character does with the newspaper clipping.
