A sweet little short story. It honestly would have been better if it had been expanded and explained a little better. However, it was still a sweet story.

It's such a beautiful collection of short glimpses over a lifetime and showing a connection between mother and son as well as the siginificance of a shared object. I was amazed about the intensity of emotions and development of characters and their relationship condensed each time within a few sentences.

If you are looking for one flowing story you'll be most likely dissapointed so I hope you are content to see some scenes of the characters' lives described in a beautiful compact form. I'm sure it's not the last time I've read this short story.
