Maisie, you really made me feel the weight of those near misses, like every moment could have gone a completely different way. And the honesty! I was holding my breath through the whole thing.
Lovely stroytelling Maisie - these were vivid paintings of different times in your life - I feel I know you a lot better now and u made me realise "almost" is such an important reflection...
This is beautiful, Maisie. What a clever format. I love how you've penned each one. It's made me think if I could do that :) 🤍
Every one of these vignettes made me think of 'almost' moments in my life. 'Almost' indeed can change the course of our lives. Great piece of writing!

I held my composure throughout until the line about your grandmother asking for chicken soup - then I lost it.
So much compassion, dear Maisie.
That last bit is really something. It made me react in different ways as my hair tie snapped.
Thanks for sharing May
I didn't realize until I read this, how powerful a word is- almost.
