Absolutely adorable!
You have such skill with showing how embracing the simple things in life can bring joy. This is something that infuses all of your other work, and you've lost none of it during the years you've been busy with things besides writing. Your stories always remind me emotionally to slow down and really pay attention to the things in life that I love. My moms smile when I hug her, how much I enjoy my morning tea, a beautiful turn of phrase in something I'm reading.
These 2 have a lot of challenges still to work through (when don't they? Lol), but they too have found the most important thing in life: connection with each other and others around them.
I'm looking forward to what you have for them next!
