Sammy's advice to Ellis is a great analogy for life, eh? The fact that you cared for Sammy if very evident; I am sorry he is no longer a part of this time and place. Very well written.
Sammy's words with me. Anytime I feel intimidated by life, I will recall his wisdom. Thanks for sharing! ~Imp
a very wise instruction but i think you must be a very special person to first teach kids then to remember them so well and to be moved so much to write such a good and warming and wholesome story. Thank you very much.
with the same type of sensitivity you show in your poetry! I enjoyed this, and suspect many others will also!
What a fantastic gift to us all, and to Sammy. You have captured the spirit of a champ, the determination of a fighter, the innocence of a child. Thank you for the story.
On this story, five in '05, one in '08 and one in '14. What a shame, it's a marvelous remembrance of a special young man, all done in a simple flash story. Signed: BTW
Here’s one in 2024 that echoes all of the above! Awful Arthur, you might want to consider revising your moniker to ‘Awesome Arthur?’ Beautiful story, and hopefully Sammy’s on deck up there, looking down & remembering what an amazing Coach he had, as he gets ready to belt out a heavenly home run! 🙌🏽❤️
