Nice work with your story's scenario and your character development, @kemmyb. The characters are well-portrayed and believable, and of course they capture our hearts! How great that the kids find a home in the end.
One small tip for you: the word "leaking" should be "licking." :-)
Yes ma'am, that was the aim. For the story to touch hearts. Thank you for your kind feedback.
Ugh, after the one hour plus I spent on editing, wonder how I missed that word. Hehe, thanks for the tip. 😊
