It is very special. The way you separated the lines works perfectly. The emotion you feel is clear as you show it all the way through, you almost never say what you are feeling, just explain each scene as it was and is and the feelings are definitely felt by the reader. Which I am thinking was your intent, if not, you did it really well.
