I know when I moved away to college for freshman year, I was terrified and cried, and on the way back, my parents and brother cried, too. <br /><br />It's rough.

Everyone has said it already in one form or another, but I couldn't not pitch in and say that I loved this one too. I found it quite sad - that might be because I've stayed at your house you and spent time with you and Philip and Megan, and you have such a lovely easy chemistry as a small family unit. But it's natural (if unfortunate) that things change and phases end. In the meantime, if you ever want a visit from someone impossibly childish, consider me volunteered (until next February, at least).<br /><br />I love your nonfiction writing. I would love to see you try and get some of it published this year.Mr London Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141191628680903646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-22558256025839672682012-03-12T22:44:25.811+00:002012-03-12T22:44:25.811+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mr London Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141191628680903646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-19624865847854305892012-03-12T22:29:22.800+00:002012-03-12T22:29:22.800+00:00Beautiful piece, Sharon.

I love how you balance the past and the present, compare and contrast, and how you pull those little details out (the sausage roll, the railway bridge) that make these stories so real.<br /><br />Megan is a credit to you and I am sure she'll miss you loads.
