Our Blessings: Author's Note

Thank you for reading till the end.

This story was inspired by an earlier poem I had written in Year 2014 - My Last, to you. Appropriating the imagery from the last stanza of the poem,

And this time, Like the last, May sparrows Stretch their delicate wings And soar away from the piazza At the first chime of the bell.

I wrapped the story around this final imagery for the last chapter.

After deciding on the conclusion, I went ahead to develop the story loosely based on some experiences I have gathered. I stress that this story is romanticised and is not an accurate representation of any events which might have happened in the past.

In spite of this, writing this story had helped me move on during a difficult time in the past. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that readers who are struggling with a romantic heartbreak can find some support and inspiration from this story, and like me, garner the strength to forgive, put the past behind and look ahead into the future.

I thank you once again for reading to the end and for your support towards my publications, and I hope you enjoyed Our Blessings thoroughly.
