Very, very rarely read something that elicits this much emotion, that makes me visualize so intensely. Just you and one other, really. And that's to say I am discreetly picking my jaw off the floor. Don't mind me. :)

This whole text is like poetry. And like wine. And like life lessons over wine in a house full of poetry, listening to cicadas. But. These paragraphs here, this flashback sequence is just, in my humble opinion, top notch writing of the highest caliber (yes, I know I'm being repetitive). Thank you for introducing us to Baba. This was splendid. <3
