I think you very nicely explore the complexities of a father-son relationship. I really enjoyed it!

Thank you! I hope I let Giles's father stay cranky and prickly while being a good dad at heart.

Just came across this and I must say it's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Lovely imagery throughout and the relationship with his father is so wonderfully played that I found myself welling up with tears. Just beautiful.

Wow, thank you so much. That reaction is so much how I wanted people to react.
