I'm sorry to hear about your uncle, Tochukwu. I can only imagine how your Aunt felt. I'm sure his passing ripples through the family and everyone feels it in their own way. What you wrote here is outstanding and carries a feeling of a delicate essence up against the brutal nature of a hunter. But the sparrows nesting in the wood of the arrows is incredible and it's going to leave a lasting impression on me. I can't quite pin it down with words, but so much emotion is in this piece, and it's something very special.

Thank you for writing this and I'm sure your uncle is grateful for you having the heart that you do.

🙏
