Applejack sits in the barn at Sweet Apple Acres on a clear sunny day. A gust of wind blows through the barn, knocking over her hat. As she goes to pick it up, she thinks back to how she got her hat. She thinks back on its significance, and how much it reminded her of her Pa.

Thanks! And yes, expect more, I currently have an idea for a Rainbow Dash fic that I think I'm gonna to run with. x3 So be on the lookout for that!

Well done.

Gonna press that like thingy now.

Amazing. That is the only word that can describe this story. The only thing is at the beginning you said that the mane 6 were about 20 years of age so when Apple Jack got her hat at age seven and Apple Bloom is new born so when they are in normal time wouldn't that mean Apple Bloom would be around age 14? Just thinking that Apple Bloom would be like a year old at the funeral leaving her to be around age 9 current time.

Ahh, that is a good point. To be very honest, I didn't think about it like that. The more I think about it, as Big Mac would say "this just doesn't add up." I'll have to look back into that, thanks for the pointer!

I cried when Aj's pa died, my lip quivers as I write this here comment now.:ajsleepy:

Very touching and sweet. Just a story I would expect what with the summary and all, but still very well written.

Fury of the Tempest approves of this.

Manly tears were shed during this story. Or not so manly.. :fluttercry: great story, well put together

The Cowboy approves of this story, I feel as though I should keep a record of just how many stories make me cry or get me choked up. Either way, my being country I can rightfully say that this is in fact a very accurate portrayal of the lives of farmers, ranchers and their families, especially in times like that of the story. Now i'm going to recommend this to everybody that I can.

Oh wow, thank you so much!

Demanding that his daughter work on the farm which she, canonically, hates for the rest of her life is not a nice heartfelt sentiment, it just sounds cruel. Saying that she kept her promise when she has, canonically, left the farm at least twice is another bad story-point that makes this unbelievable in a bad way.

Overall this is well-written but not very well thought out... hmm, I'm not sure if I should give it a like or a dislike... sorry but it's going to be a dislike from me.

First of all I would like to thank you for the criticism, as it'll help me grow.
However, a few things I'd like to explain in regards to what you've said. In my mind, I don't Think Applejack hated the farm. Yes, as a filly she may have left, but if you recall she was homesick after some time and she did find joy in going back home. Also, she was already working on the farm when she promised her father this. She wasnt forced into anything, and his intention was to have her promise to always push through when life gets you down, rather than "keep working even if you feel like you can't." Second of all, regarding that- her leaving the farm as a filly and in The Last Roundup. I think it's safe to say that this story takes place in the in between time of those two events. Perhaps Applejack lost faith some time down the road, however, as often people do in their own lives. I would like to state, however, that adding such to the story would most likely break it's momentum.

However, thank you very much for the criticism, which I will definitely keep in mind for future stories!

That was amazing!!!!!! But it did make me cry a little...:applecry:

''not gonna cry not gonna cry daw...i cried''

That was beautiful! I cried. Right now I look like this::applecry: Keep up the great work! :applecry::fluttercry::raritydespair::raritycry:
