keimosobie,

I am not familiar with Jim Groce, but recognize most of the songs you wrote of. This story is told like a story teller tells a story. Well done.

Duane

Keimosobie, thanks for sharing this story with us. What a treat to have actually known Jim Croce. It was tragic the way he died, that's for sure. I really liked your impressionist way with words and descriptions. Thanks again for a good piece.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story, and I'm so happy you had the chance to experience the excitement of Disneyland, the happiest place on earth. At least that's what I thought on my first visit.

Interesting little story. It was written much like a six year old would write, I enjoyed it very much. Great job.

This is a great story and really well told. The details a child would remember - the endless waiting, the harsh treatment, the anticipation - really bring this story to life. What a great experience you had, and then what sadness following directly upon it. I love your last line. Very well done. Thanks for sharing this time of your life.

This is a well put together story of memories from a young boys point of view. You have told it well and the parts where you were beaten with various parents must have hurt you a lot in many ways. I remember the song well and thought he had a unique voice.

The 6th paragraph, 4th line should read wasn't 'ALLOWED' as opposed to aloud. There is another spag somewhere which I've lost. A nice heartwarming if not sad story which I enjoyed reading. Blessings, Paul.

This is a very well written story reciting the memories of a very young person. There is very good imagery and descriptive scheme. Good luck in your contest.

This was a good read from beginning to end. You have captured the spirit of the six year-old in foster care. I really like the last line.

Evening. Is this Fiction or Nonfiction? What ever, your story with great descriptions about the little boy's delight in the experience with a family that cared about him and his great time on the trip. So important and fateful that he found a life. One little nit. Was the word aloud meant to be allowed? A great write that kept my attention throughout. Fix those few nits and this should be a good contender in the contest
Nice write...Susan
I love Croce's music!
