Dario8676: I hope your cousin is well. Cancer is a very hard disease to face, it's heartbreaking to know that a 9 year old has it. I hope your inspired by this story. Even though this story ended with a death, in a way it ended on a happy note. Thanks for all your reviews and your support!
DearLizzie: It's good to know I portrayed the characters well. Thanks for your reviews!!
GD Earnest: There is rarely any stories where Gordo is this popular football player. High school can change anyone to someone they thought they would never be. In this story I wanted show every one that a guy like Gordo can be someone like Ethan for example. I tried to show their actions as much as I could, I wanted everyone to feel what they felt while they were reading this. From the reviews I guess it worked. Thanks for your great reviews!
Froggy2045: Thanks for your reviews, I'm glad you love it!
Flicia89: It's not based on the book "Too Young To Die" by Lurlene McDaniel. But I've read almost all her stories and I got this idea out of it so I guess in a way her stories did inspire me. Thanks for your review!
To the rest of the reviewers, thank you! It's good to know you all liked it!
I love writing these types of stories because they all have a special message in the end. This story has a strong message that I would like everyone who reads this to grasp. Even through the most tragic moments in your life, you have to always have strength and belief so that you can overcome your own grief. Anyone can overcome anything, you just have to believe in yourself and know you can. Facing tragedy may be hard but it's what you have inside of you that will help you overcome it. I hope this story inspired you somehow……
