That touched me. I will come back to this later on as I want to dive deeper in what I perceived through this storytelling. Just wanted to let you know:)

read it again and after that, again. :) Actually the mood is telling. Cannot really make a point at some point... :-) but that is the magic of a full narration. That you get it in total and not in detail. So well done. You have such an artistic approach with words. I admire that. I don't know if I could compare my German to your English. We never will know. LOL.

Giving you a hug.
