Such a beautiful story. Thank you. My dad was my hero, and though he died 6 years ago, I still find myself talking to him and asking his advice, and I often feel as if he is here trying to help me. Thanks, again, for sharing your heartfelt story with us.

Thanks for all the appreciative comments. It was interesting to know exactly who my audience was (you guys). Made getting it down easier, even though it's just a very rough first draft. Ill let it sit for a bit, then edit and add photos.
Riley, I have to say I'm very sorry to hear about the terrible thing that happened to your Grandma. Indeed, there are obviously many things going on under the surface that we call reality. My best to you.

Thanks Jello, I thoroughly enjoyed this.
You have been an inspiration to some of us for many many years. Your gift of writing (once you are done with your book) will be a source of inspiration for many future generations of climbers for years to come. And that is a gift to us.

Very well written and inspirational story. Thanks for taking the time to share it . Put me down for a copy of your book when complete.
Also, I live in Ut. county and if you ever need a hand on any of your projects (i.e. a laborer for the day or whatever) I would be honored to help...just email me. Thanks again.

Most excellent Jeff!
Your writing comes so alive in the mind, I might just run outside and click my heels.
Astonishing.
I just saw this post.

JelloHemingway,
My friend Randy kept referring to this story and I finally--belatedly--found it and read it.
I still have goosebumps!
You are an amazing writer, on top of everything else. I would love to hear more about your adventures, as would everyone else, obviously.

Thanks, L, and Philo. Appreciate your compliments. Although JelloWorld might actually prove to be a pretty saccharin place - I'll try to keep it real, and bittersweet.
