I finished it.
It only took me just over a month.
&& i liked the way it made me smile at the end.
A book about hope, friendship truth, love and childhood.
Its worth reading, all 1116 pages of it is.
.........
Its one of those things that makes you think too much you start remembering things that you can never get back like being 5 again when me and my dad used to polish the landing floor take run ups and skid along it in our socks.
The way i used to smile when he came home from work all dirty & tired. Or the way he always let me stay home on snow days so we could go up on the top field climb into my blood red sledge and sky down the hill, like the time we went to the top of Willow Drive & sat in it and pushed ourselfs off we must have been going 50mph down that hill no shit.
Like the time my brother tried to feed me Milky Way when i was 10 days old, or the time he hugged me when i was 8 and that was the last time i saw him& the last time he wanted to see me.
Times like that make me sad just like the times when i used to write letters to him that probably never got opened and the way the pink birthday card he sent me when i was just a kid sits in my closet along with his photo that hurts me too much to look at.
