Holy smokes this is beautiful. Your poetic storytelling skills never fail to impress me and pull at my heart strings. I love the metaphor of the ladybug’s wings. The empathy, the sense regret mixed redemption and merciful forgiveness. There’s too many brilliant and bright sentences to quote. In all seriousness, your phenomenal writing never fails to simultaneously make me cry a whole lot, yet at the same time it allows me to smile at your sense of sad tragicomic beauty. The story’s poetic style, tender-hearted humor, vulnerability, and unflinching brutal honesty is one of a kind. I look up to you as a writer, your sense bravery and strength in speaking the truth. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and brilliant memory with us readers.
