Review of Thank-You Note

I felt all anxious as I sat listening, eavesdropping, on this scene of domestic non-bliss, which must mean it rings true. I would think that most everyone can relate to this type of family bickering about seemingly small things disguising larger issues. Given it's length, it could easily be inserted into broadcast day, but to what aim I am not entirely sure. Perhaps by hearing this piece, over breakfast, it might give pause to family members trapped in these ongoing battles, or at least provide comfort, in showing we all go through similar ups and downs. Either way it is engaging and well executed, and provides much food for thought.
