Pete
Thank you for your post and the link
Well-worth reading , particularly from someone so young
It reminds me of a programme I used to listen to on the radio many years ago called ' Thought of the Day '( I don't know if it is still broadcast )

Such a lovely short story, extremely well written and very much enjoyed. In fact I listened to a few others too.

Thank you for posting it.
