This story is soo sweet and sad. I don't think I've seen any other that tackle the scars Harry must have and what his ids think of them.

Thank you for reading and commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed it. <3

Utterly heart-warming. I love Lily Luna's innocent curiosity and faith, and Harry's own internal struggle over how to respond.

Thanks! I always figured Harry would have some problems with parenting, considering what an awful representation he was given for 14+ years. That kind of abuse has got to give you some deep-seated issues no matter how many good parents you interact with later on.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for taking the time to comment. :D
