I did enjoy this short story, it was well written and you really felt empathy with Jess, we all have those days where everything that can go wrong does go wrong! Jennifer writes the character of Jess so well you feel her distress at the thought she cannot afford to go see her father now her husband has lost his job due to cutbacks. You feel the frustration that jess knows and accepts she cannot afford to go even though it may be her last chance at seeing her father alive.Jess starts out the story feeling everything is going wrong for her and that she has to deal with it alone. Later in the day she realises with "a little push" from her youngest son Micah when they are on the bike coming home from school that she is not alone and her family are there to help her. Jess realises that if her and her family pull together they can overcome anything that is thrown at him. This short story is definitely worth the read.
