Well, this brought tears to my eyes, well done!

To me, a good piece of writting should evoke some form of emotion, and yours certainly did.

I look forward to reading the piece again if you do re-write, but please do not feel it is not a good piece, as it is. However, as a writer, you also know the differnence between a good and a great piece of your own writting.

See you one day in Level 2 -- I am sure it won't take you too long to get there!
