I could really see the scene, and feel the tension in the air.<br />Sometimes when tackling such a personal subject it's easy to bump along, just working to get through it, and something is lost. When a scene is so personal it's often difficult to make readers get the full sense of it because we are wrapped up in it ourselves, and honestly a bit blinded by it, but you did a wonderful job here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705138931532479252.post-75605908013774511942012-04-13T15:04:10.484+01:002012-04-13T15:04:10.484+01:00The mother in me is still a little worried about H...The mother in me is still a little worried about Henry not having a coat.<br />Wonderfully vivid post, Lizzie.
