That's such a great compliment @Savvy! I write the way I hear things in my own head and it feels good to know they flow just as well on reading.

So beautifully written. I was so touched and the last part had me in tears. Though I am not a single parent, I feel you from the bottom of my heart.

What an incredibly brave story, so full of pain and fear but also so, so full of hope and love. The words had a simple imagery but told such a profound tale. Amazing! I think the ending was symbolic - whatever happens in the outside world, you have brought up your boy so that he will always be able to come home to you! 🩵❤️🩵❤️
