Beautifully told. I love how the past is folded into the present with such aching honesty—it captures that nostalgic swirl of memory, longing, and missed chances so well.

Wonderful story. I'm glad things worked out for Peter. Sometimes life and relationships are so tough and just finding your place can be a real struggle. I'm glad he found a way to live with his condition and even better, somebody to help him along. Thank you for sharing.
