    What a beautiful play about the strong connection between a father and his daughter. In only 5 minutes, O'Grady covers 20 years of this relationship. Life happens, children grow and become adults, parents age and ultimately leave as the grown child continues to make their way in the world without them. It's the circle of life, told so efficiently and poignantly. Wonderful piece of writing!

    Such a moving piece, and so efficiently told in only 5 minutes. O'Grady manages to encompass a span of 20 years in a father-daughter relationship: their utter trust in each other, with a lovely wisdom for the essentials in their life passages and the progressing balance change between parent and child -- then to the devastation of his absence at the end. Beautifully done.
