This is a great autobiography. I enjoy how you tell how you might your dad and the love and care he gave you. Your first paragraph I think is not needed. Other than that it was an intriguing bio of you.

Glad you enjoyed this posting. Appreciate the review.
Comment from Lynette Marie
So heartwarming. The end brought tears to my eyes. The balance of love and discipline is a difficult thing to accomplish, and it sounds as though your dad had that down pat. You were both greatly blessed. This was a lovely read!

What a wonderful man he was, he obviously saw something in you that needed to be brought out. That was a lucky day for you when you decided to try and get ten dollars out of him. you ended up with so much more. I look forward to reading the rest of your story. Oh, and you are right about 'dad' and 'father', mine was 'Dad' and my mother was 'Mum' all their lives and I miss them everyday too. :)) Sandra xxx

You were very lucky. Most people would have fed you maybe, but they wouldn't have gone the limit as Dusty West did. What a man! I enjoyed reading this and look forward to more of your story. I am curious about the years before the two of you met.

This is a beautiful story, Brett, and one that inspires all of us to perhaps pen our own story about our parents.... some day.... Thank you for sharing yours.

And a wonderful story it is too. Perhaps you should also digress and explain how you became a street "urchin" while you're at it, (or have you already, Brett)Yes, not only did you explain how up you were adopted, but the other cliche was the "anyone can be a father, not everyone can be a dad." Which is the best way to describe, the difference between procreation and mentoring.' Well done, Dusty West isva story worth telling. Blessings, Roy

Always appreciate your insights, comments, and review.
Comment from Mabaker
I loved my dad too. That is always a fine story a tough kid and a lonely adult, to give the status of 'true story' helps as well.
Writing has the effect of making us reveal our darker side. Good job. Regards Anne

What a great story. It captures the love and warmth that you have for your Dad. This is a great tribute to your Dad for Father's Day. Very well written

Actually, I tried to buy food for an old lady panhandler, but she ran off. I believe she wasn't all that hungry. Just thirsty if you know what I mean.
Did he legally adopt you?
