Great read. This isn’t at all unique to the South as it hits home for this Yankee too.

Yes, it hits home with me also. Made me stop and begin to look back and remember my dad said, “no regrets, wouldn’t change a thing.”
Thanks for a great read!

be as happy and content with our lives as that man was. Society these days tries to condition us against it. Nice to see that someone still gets "it".

“Even his voice was quiet, throaty and clipped in the way of men in these mountains — a voice meant for conversations beyond a crowd, meant for the group of men eyeing the door, aiming to be outside where it’d be easier to talk about nothing or just as soon not talk at all. “

Most of us read it and say to ourselves...jeez, did we do it wrong? And the answer is he did it right FOR HIM. Because the next question we ask ourselves is would you trade place with him? And for most people, the answer would be no.
Great read and thought provoking...
