I've been having a really unattractive day - haven't felt like cooperating with what's going on since I got up this morning, and I've been counting down the minutes until I can go home. Felt really flayed raw, and could think of nothing but going home and flinging myself onto my bed.
Then I read this.
This is beautifully, beautifully done. I could hear Jim's voice in my head as I read it, and it all sounded very true and on-point. The emotion is perfectly drawn - from a step away, as Bobby is narrating, but still so close to the pain and the grief and the inability to decide what to do next. I especially liked the part where he's saying to John, you left me with these boys whether you meant to or not...
I'm going to keep this in Memories. Thank you again!
