OHHH - this: "JD is alive with possibilities because he is "unwritten"." Nicely put!
Lovely characterization, not only of him but of how the others are affected by him, and what he brings to them. I especially like this: " If they can take this one boy and teach him to be the type of man they could have been, should have been - if they can keep him from becoming lost, broken, bitter, and ashamed - then they will have truly done something to overcome the tragedies, horrors, and losses of their lives." Very nicely put and a great perspective on why the others are so protective of him.
