Comment from Begin Again
Even when grief and sadness surround us in our lifetime, it is a precious gift to have beautiful memories to lean on and remember the good times, those special times between those we love so dearly. I lost a four-year-old son who was a "Dennis the Menace" in his own way. I am so thankful for those memories and those dancing eyes. Thank you for sharing. And the car...well, that goes without saying. Gorgeous!
Smiles, Carol

Carol, thanks for the wonderful review and kind words for my Denny story.
And so sorry for your loss, sweetie. A child is the worst loss possible, as we found with Josette. We are blessed to have your cheerful smile among us daily and hope that knowing what you have been through is comfort when you know how much you are loved here. Take care and I don't dare say anymore so I don't give myself away. Hugs tho, and thanks again.
Comment from Dawn Munro
What an adorable story -- truly charming. The only suggestion I have is a minor change. Name the child in paragraph four -- it's confusing (for a moment) because without naming Denny, you might be referring to Pat here: " One day, he knew they would be leaving soon, and he hated it when they left because he was a little shadow to them when they were together."
Otherwise, excellent. I enjoyed it very much.
My condolences to your family for the loss of a beloved daughter and Denny.

Dawn, I thank you for your kind comments and review. And also for your suggestion about using Denny's name in paragraph four, and I did change it to make it more clear. So thanks for that. (Even tho, Pat would not have made a good little shadow) LOL, just trying to be funny, because you were right.
Also for your thoughtfulness about my brother and Josette's death.
They were both so hard to endure, but that has been a while.
Thanks again.

You are very welcome, dear Debi.
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is quite amusing and entertaining. I like Kyle already early on diagnosed him to be narcissistic. That reminds me of my brother He needed all the attention and if he wasn't getting it he did stuff together. Sounds like this boy knew how to take things into his own hands. You have a good example of allusion here too. Well told

Hi Liz, thanks for the very kind comments for my story about Denny.
He was not at all narcissistic, but he had a great sense of humor and was incredibly witty.
Was Kyle your brother? Sounds like he was quite a character too. We sure loved them tho didn't we. I pray yours is still with you.
Thanks again, Liz.

My brother is Nike in my autobiography. He was quite a character... And still is my next book is about him.
Comment from F. William Lester
A good story. I didn't have any little brothers as I am the little brother. I tried to pull that stunt on my dad one day as he left for work, but he caught me (there was no blanket to crawl under in the back and I think my mother saw me when I crawled into the car). So sad what happened to Denny. Good luck in the contest. Thanks for sharing it. Stay well.

This is a humorous story about an innocent little boy who loved tagging along with his older sister and her boyfriend. Your story is well written using succinct language and detailed descriptions. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Dr. Nad
I love your family story. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I think you know that each of us can relate to what it is that you said not each of us have that many siblings but we do have stories that highlight our lives and bring smiles to our faces as we look back and laugh at what tormented us at the time. Many times we look back and say I can't believe I did that and I can't believe I said that but now I can laugh at it. Thank you so much.

Hi there Dan, I appreciate your kind words for my story about my little brother. He was a little shister and he was spoiled being the youngest, which took him to a spoiled adult who did not have to listen to anyone. Traveled out in a snowstorm and with visibility so bad on the freeway, ran into a tow truck pulling someone out of the ditch. The arm on the truck went thru the windshield and broke his neck. He died minutes after the highway patrol got there. Sorry for throwing that all at you. But I knew you could take it.
Kinda puts a little damper in my little funny story, but thanks for listening.
And thanks again for the great review.

Hi
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
I love this story. I wonder if it was true. Sounds like it.
I'll bet the two lovebirds were more surprised than anybody at all. Probably a good thing they didn't grope each other with a little brother in the backseat.
I'll bet it was a fun story to recount over the years
Did Pat and your sister stay together
Here it should be stow away
"So he decided to sneak in with them and Stowe away."
I enjoyed reading your story
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from jmdg1954
Boy-oh-boy... this is a great story to tell for years and years.
I remember being a kid and my sister and boyfriend (who later became her husband) took me with them to the drive-in at times. How awkward I felt with them "making out" in the front... yikes.
Good luck in the contest,
John

Comment from Bill Schott
This story, Denny and the '59 Chevy, is a classic little brother tale where the lad's mischievousness is balanced between cute and obnoxious. Cute was a key to his survival.
