I'm looking forward to reading your story.
Not sure where you are as there hasn't responded any activity since 16th of November, last year.
Here's hoping you'll return in 2020 and continue to write your story until completion.
It's beautiful story by the sounds of the synopsis and you have a way with the imagery you evoke when explaining about how he feels about his life.
Please come back and continue what appears to be quite an amazing story.
