As I write this review I am shaking.  This short tale grabbed me and took me through all of my emotions and left me shattered on the other side. I read this with a huge lump in my throat, as it invaded my heart and brought to the surface memories I had long since buried.  It was like the author took me and sat me down and forced me, with startling clarity, to relive the tale of Matthew and Patrick.  It felt like I could reach out and touch the characters they were so real.  I wanted to get behind Matthew and just hold him. But please don't think this is just a sad tale, it is so much more than that.  It is about respect for what was, for the value of a person's life, about dignity and grace, and about moving on and hope.  Just read it and see for yourself.  Another masterpiece from this author.
