If one day I'm able to express anything as poetically and beautifully as you can, I'll consider myself a successful writer haha. Not only is your recollection and the story so engaging, but the way you describe things has a way of pulling the reader in, and with ease, guiding them along.

Brilliant, as usual. Thanks for the piece, Jay. Also, I read this out of order, so I need to go back and get the story straight, but still, amazing!
