Oh. What a wonderful experience. The interweaving of story with pictures -- the way you did it, the simple language, the way the illustrations fleshed out the story -- took me back to childhood. (And that's a long trip.) Took me back to innocence.

And then it seemed like you were speaking directly to me.

I recognized Tim in your illustrations -- you do him very well. The ones of you were a little more vague.

I hope the ending is a long, long way in the future.

Thank you for this, Caitlin.
