Shell, thank you for reading along, but the person of whom you speak is fictitious. Curse of the creative mind, but I wrote the story with a hidden point which I hope comes out with Part 2 on Thursday.

Love it! Or one could say “Blessing” of the creative mind. 😊He feels real.

Great piece, my friend! Takes me back to my dad’s time in WWII. I’m sure there were many cases of meeting the families of those who gave their lives. My dad was hidden for three months. Years later we got to meet the man who headed the underground in Rouen. Emotions were well hidden most of their lives…this story shows it finally has to come out! Choked me up as he met the grown son of his pal. I look forward to rest of the story…. Pretty amazing story even if fiction ..you nailed it. Great storytelling Bob! ☺️🙌
