A well organized, skillfully written story. Youre very adept at illustrating exactly who Adam and Ben are, and the essential aspects of their relationship. You show us why it's inevitable there would be conflict as Adam struggles to grow beyond Ben's mighty shadow, and Ben struggles to keep the son who is almost a part of him. I like that the story is fairly sparse but has a tenderness that is not maudlin. You obviously know these characters very well and have the ability to share those insights with the reader.

What a touching and heartfelt story. I really like the deep father/son moments in it.
