He doesn't expect to feel so cut-off and ruined due to injured hands, and to be so angry at himself for not appreciating how much those hands do for him

This line hit me kind of hard. My mother gave up her dreams of being a professional cellist because of arthritis in her hands, and she tells me all the time to take care of my own (particularly after I was diagnosed with tendonitis in my wrists). I can't imagine not being able to do something as simple as holding someone else's hand.

This was beautifully done. ♥

Oh, that would be tough. Yeah, I've had some scares with my own wrists/hands, and the worry that I wouldn't be able to use my hands was really horrible. I can't even imagine being in that situation.

Thank you! That means a lot, especially coming from you. ♥

thanks for writing this. it feels cathartic, seeing this with my fav character. i cant move my right hand and the left one is in pain. i think you expressed pretty much what i feel/think, the craving for human contact, holding hands... *sigh* how important hands are.

That sounds awful. I'm glad I managed to capture even some of what you're going through. Thank you! ♥

Amazing!

I love the way that you capture the teen angst of feeling a bit too old and proud to hold his father's hand during times that aren't actualy crises but still wanting to.
