“You didn’t save my life exactly, but you made me care about it again.”

This was cute, but not my favorite Aster Glenn Gray piece. David and Robert’s relationship was so sweet. I love that they understood each other, and supported each other on the things they didn’t. 

It was really nice to see life not only in the early 20th century, but queer life in the early 20th century.

I was half-convinced that Nigel had a crush on David.

It was also nice to see early 20th century understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder.

 I really appreciated the way they discussed life as an amputee, and how that effected their day to day life.

David being good with kids was so cute. David in general was very cute.
