Thank you, Javaughn, for writing this. I know you didn’t write this for me, but I still wanted to say thank you. You can always talk to me. You know that. And I’ll keep your grandmother in my thoughts. I wish her all the health in the world. I know it was a while ago, but I can only assume that pleasant thoughts don’t have an experiation date and an endless shelf life.

wow, you never told me this story. it amazes me how different you and your dad are, even from just this little excerpt of him. i can’t imagine you not knowing something like your son’s birthday, someone who should be of the utmost importance to any decent person. he doesn’t deserve you javaughn, and quite frankly, i’m astounded you two are related. like everyone else said though, very well written – though the writing wasn’t really what i was concentrating on when i read it. it’s ridiculous how your dad tries to outdo you with his awards, rather than congratulating you – a day in your life is worth more to the people around you, who care about you, than a decade of his would be to anyone. i’m glad you realize how vastly arrogant he is, even within only a small meeting like this one b/c you would never say any of this stuff.. yet it’s obvious to everyone that you have nothing but good intentions for anyone. truly, though, your mother is quite the hero in this story for showing you a moral & well supported path without the help of your not-quite-as-helpful father. thank her javaughn, and be greatful for her, as i know you are, because she has really sacrificed everything. aaaaaannnnnyyyyyyywwwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyy i got really into that. that was my 2 cents and feel free to disregard, but i meant it. ily, like more than i love sleep. only u would know how much that rly is.
stay strong bruh you got dis in a way your dad would never be able to figure out.

Very nicely written and a very touching story, although a bit depressing. Reading through it, I think there are a couple mistakes in spelling, but otherwise a very interesting and captivating story. The use of vocabulary and the flow of sentences help you to connect with the narrator. You really grabbed my attention immediately and sucked me in. I really enjoyed it and was left wanting more. Keep on writing, Javaughn.

Hey man, your writing skills have gotten really good. I love the way you were able to captivate my attention, and just keep me reading. It flowed really well, and you did very well at helping the reader see from the main characters point of view. I was a little confused with the ending, but otherwise I thought it was really good. Keep writing bro, and like Casey said hope it doesn’t reflect true life. If it does, remember your heavenly father is always there, even when it doesn’t seem like it. Go to him when you need a father and there is no one else to fill that position. God Bless you man.

this story is really touching. I’ve heard that every man wants approval from his father. But I’ve also heard that every man has his own destiny, no matter what his father has done. So, for the boy in this story, whether real or fictional, he should know that he isn’t going to be like his father. He’s going to be the type of father that knows his son’s birthday, and is going to be there for every one of them. Most importantly, his son is going to know that his father loves him. That’s all that matters. =]

I really like the little details.
Nice vocab, but that’s typical of you Javaughn

But very well written.
I know I could never write anything like this.

Hope it doesn’t reflect true life,
The only people that matter are the ones that care about you and stick by you through everything.

Keep writing, I’d love to see more (:
