Ohhh, Nina! This has moved me to tears! I got goosebumps a few times; this was just so vivid and so perfectly described through the eyes and heart of a child.

An absolutely brilliant read, a compelling story, and I could see, hear, smell, feel all of it. I was right there with you.

And hearing how this impacted you as a child - this was deeply moving.

Thank you for sharing this, Nina. Such an emotional read. ❤️
