This is so moving and beautiful. You are a writer, through and through. I am amazed that you have such good recall of the details.

Your story has stayed with me for days...it feels like you were writing about a different era, but you weren't. I was sitting school cert in 1979, just up the road. My biggest worry was what to wear to school (we went to a progressive for its time school with no uniform) and fighting with my sister and you were all alone going through that, I'm crying to think about it. Thank you for sharing, your writing is evocative and powerful and I can't wait for the next chapter. Meri Kirihimete x
