It was worth the wait. Scent memories of my Great-grandma's house were strong while reading it. I could feel the cabinet door fall off in my hands. Very nice. Thanks.

This is beautiful. You pull in a variety of sensory images and you tie them all together in a way that is evocative and identifiable. While you didn't overtly express any particular emotions, the images that you call up - the grandmother with her arms raised in anticipation of a hug, the grandfather making pancakes, the importance of social occasions - all speak eloquently to how you feel about the ghosts with whom you now share your home, and the people they used to be. This is A-quality work. Thank you so much for sharing it. You didn’t ask for a teacher’s opinion, but I can’t resist.
