When dad became ill.3 total reviews
Comment from MAMONIA
You never did say if your dad ever recuperated. After falling from the horse, there is no mention of him.
As far as you being able to take over his workload, that is tremendous and you deserve a lot of credit. It's a good story and one that will be unfamiliar to those of us brought up in the city.
Good entry for the contest.
Best of luck,
Marie

Hi, Mamonia, My dad didn't fall from a horse, he was walking behind the plow and fell to the ground. The stroke caused much damage and he passed away at 44. Thank you for the review and stars.

So well evoked - this distant memory of a life changing event in a young boy's life and how he coped with it - a real slice of social history and the language of the dialogue is the icing on the cake !

I am and always have been a city slicker who found your story interesting and informative. Though very young, You proved you could do the job. You tend to dart around when you narrate. This can be remedied by telling your story strictly chronologically.
