Wow. Hard to believe it's been 2 years since I wrote this story! Time flies, huh?
Thank you so much, Gary Braveheart for choosing it for Throwback Thursday. I just posted on yer story but I also want to tell everyone here to read Braveheart's "Return To Sandbridge" series. It is AWESOME!
(Gary, you don't owe me anything for the plug, I'm happy to do it free of charge!)
Thank you to Fw190 A 'n Leslie K for yer kind words! Howard, you've always been one of my mentors 'n role models, I'm still learning from you 'n will never stop. Not only in writing but in life too. You are a shining example to us all! Ami, my sweet Sis, we may not be blood but you know I always have yer back just like I know you always have mine! You are so strong 'n so full of love & positive energy, I am so proud to be yer Sis! Love you so much!
"Lakota Proud" is a very special story for me. The events actually happened to me, the names were changed 'n the showdown happened on a sidewalk in town, not on the Rez. I wrote it after my "Uncle" Ray died, it was a very emotional time 'n tears were shed. They say writing is therapy. I guess that's kinda true. I did feel better putting his essence in print even though I got my butt kicked in print too. It sure hurt a lot less than it did on that sidewalk! The frybread was delicious too!
Anyways, thanks again to Gary 'n everyone who read "Lakota Proud" or will read it in the future!
Hugggzzz 'n xoxo
