I know I will continue to enjoy your memories. You are likely to have them come flooding back as you let you mind travel into the past. I've been to Nashville quite a bit. For the last 30 years, I've lived in Chattanooga. Back when I was a resident of Jackson, Mississippi my employer sent me to school in Nashville for two weeks to take a printing course. I enjoy country music and I've visited the Hermitage. I also had a husband who had hundreds of basal cell carcinomas and worse removed, all the years were together. You no doubt have fair skin and should have avoided the sun while young. They are pretty tame compared with so many more debilitating ailments and are very common. but I know you hate dealing with them. I look forward to more.

Appreciate your comments and the review.
Comment from royowen
One of my favourite pursuits is reading biological accounts of the writer's lives, it's the next favourite genre to the Bible and science fiction. I am surprised you wouldn't be searching out your ancestry. But dealing with such a hideous disease that you deal with is distressing, your bravery is amazing. I've taken the liberty of praying for you. I can see your in interest in country music now. Beautifully written Brett, blessings Roy

It's always nice to get to know about people and places of interest. Having been to the Grand Ole Opry, played in a few local bars and venues, and had a love for music of all kinds, your story hits home with me. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from judiverse
This is very touching, especially the details about your parents and how you happened to end up at the Hermitage. One of my aunts adopted a girl, Carol, when she was five. As an adult, Carol located her birth mother, but decided she wished she hadn't found her. I wonder what other alternative the judge would have had. I like your incorporation of the song into your story. Monell's sounds like a fabulous place. You give great details about. I believe you might tighten this up a bit, as it gets a bit rambling in places. Best of luck in dealing with those health issues. It complicates life when you have so many things to do. judi

An interesting read written in conversational format. It is almost kitchen table warm. The images are clear. The narrative stays on point. The story beckons us to continue reading.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Even though I had a biological family I can relate with no stretch of the imagination to what it feels like to be alone.
This is entertaining and I look forward to your next chapter.
My family never really liked me and I always felt like I was an orphan just as you were.
This autobiography shows grit along with a heavy dose of reality just for good measure.

You are doing a great job writing this. We were stationed at Fort Campbell Kentucky for a little less than four years. We had hoped to get back there to retire but didn't make it. Ended up retiring at Fort Hood, Texas. Anyway, we visited Nashville many times. I am enjoying reading about it through your eyes. I am curious about Basal Cell Carcinoma. I can't get an appointment until October, but my Primary Caregiver brought it up as a possibility. I am very nervous about it. I am already a breast cancer survivor so anything with the word cancer in it scares me.

What would be your question about BCC? Something I might be able to answer? PM me if you want to about it. Appreciate the review.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
I'm enjoying this very much. I like your writing voice, which seems unhurried yet not dull by any stretch of the imagination. There's a placid gruffness to the style... a "just-out-from-hibernation" grizzly effect that I find alluring. You've set the stage well for the next chapter, and I'm eager to read it.
