Ah man, Tim, I'm so glad you've shared that with us.
There's something about it being read by the author that makes the whole tale so much more poignant. The unbearable tension, the delicacy of the descriptions, the whole thing is so tender and tragic. Even after all the time that's passed, I'm so deeply sorry for your loss.
Dear Tim, thank you for reading this book to us. I was very moved by the description of your mother. I can only imagine the courage it takes to write about something like that. My teenage daughter has tried committing suicide during Covid, and I still can't really talk about it, not even journal.
Is anyone, beyond the four Boot Campers who have offered Comment, out there and listening to Tim read the first of the 17 - yes SEVENTEEN - chapters that Tim has, much more than merely to be kind, opted to read at the rate of one per week over the next third of a year or so?
I'd like to pitch a couple of comments into the melting pot of discussion, hinged on my thoughts of what I've thought may be reasonable connection 'The Scent of Dried Roses' and at least one of Tim's other recent posts. What's stopping me is (1) having no sense of how many others have listened to Tim's podcast or / and read Chapter 1 (2) not wanting to post Comment that those, many I suspect, who haven't as yet listened or / and read Chapter 1 which might intrude on others' personal quiet listings / readings and reflections.
Chapter 2 is upcoming from Tim in a shortening time window ... please, my peer Boot Campers, do share your thoughts on Chapter 1 as a foundational basis for building interesting online conversation. Or, just as valuable, post a Comment that offers insight into why you are actively choosing not to comment?
🍯 < yes this is an emojimage of a pot, and yes I am stirring it.
This must have happened many years ago, but your reading and the language were so quiet and spare that the emotion underlying seemed wrenching somehow. Thank you. And I am sorry.

This had me in buckets. Nothing else to say - thanks, Tim.
Listening to you read this chapter was very moving, Tim. Thank you.

That's understandable. Be gentle on yourself
Thank you, Tim. To actually hear YOU reading this feels like a shared gift
Thanks Anna-Rose...found it quite painful to read but somehow also cathartic...
