Good to see you.

Couple of typos: bag→back and pores→pours.

I really like where you’re going with this, but I’m losing it towards the end. Grandson is diagnosed and she can resume the life she’s been living for 35 years of making phone calls and looking after an invalid-partner? I’m guessing you hit the character limit.

I’d love to give you more, but it’s three pencils today.

Write more. I’ve been missing you.

Thanks for the crits. I changed the typos and added a sentence to the beginning to lessen confusion about who is dead and what not.

See kids this is what happens when you publish something 30 seconds after writing it.

Thanks again Frog

I like the veiled and twisted optimism!
