Okay, now I understand a bit more of the chapter I read first, which was the family reunion, coming up next. This is very well written as they all have been. This Mrs. Stein should not have said that to you. A woman of her intelligence and education should have known better than to judge an eight year old boy, years later. She should have been intelligent enough to not pass judgment on a little boy and saying it to the man he has become. How could she not realize you had to have gone through years of wondering about it, struggling with it, and hopefully coming to some peace about it. Listen, in the line "I thought for all intensive purposes it was Russo" it should be,
"all intents and purposes." Sorry, I would want you to tell me, you know. This is really well written and again, I give you so much credit for being able to write about it. I believe your talent for writing is a healing grace for you. Whenever we write about something, it becomes a little less of a prison for us, it is lessened a bit by the "giving it away" on paper, or in this case "giving it away to others." I am going to go to the next one, which I already read, but want to read in the order in which you wrote them.

I like this piece and I must say I enjoyed reading it. I'm not usually easily enticed but I was enticed from the beginning to end. Good work.

Interesting tale. It is so easy to try to make ourselves sound more important than we are, having lost everything. I was adopted at age three so I can identify with this.
One spag prospective family no perspective.

Keimosobie,
What a difficult childhood you had. Filled with confusion about your family identity. I'm so glad you are sharing your story.
"You lied", (Punctuation goes inside end quotation mark - lied,")
You did", (did?") she asked
She was the only women (woman) in the world with the balls to stand up to my father.
She was in her late eighty's (eighties) and
Why did great grandma say I was Buddies (Buddy's) Boy" I asked.
