I know not how I reached this page but the fact of the matter is I somehow ended up at a very beautiful place...this story
The simple emotions, and the unaffected pace of the story is what drew me in and the relatability of the story is what kept me hooked.
There he had been sitting, waiting, sandwiched between his parents, cornered by their dreams and expectations, silently bristling at his own weary submission to the artificiality of the whole scenario.
The suffocating weight of these lines delivered a powerful punch to the gut.
And yet the journey from the above lines to these "And thus began a lifetime of banter, laughter, tears, comfort, friendship and love." was so very loving and lovely.
Thank you for this beautiful piece😃
