Wow, bobbing my head to all of the comments I add the passage that strikes a special chord to me...
Where did you go? Did you bring me something?" "I did, little man, and I shan't. And it hurts like silly buggers, and I went to see a wizard, and I brought you something special. Let's have a look at your arm first."...."Does it hurt still, tadpole?" Alex shook his head vigorously. "Nuh-uh." "You know I'm sorry as hell I hurt you, yeah?" Alex nodded just as vigorously. "I'm sorry I cried, Daddy." "Don't be. I'm a bad, rude Daddy." He caught the boy's small soft hand, laid it upon his chest. "Got a soul for you, so I can promise it'll never happen again. How's that?"
Brought tears to my eyes. Looking forward to more! Thank you.
