Gina you’re the queen of capturing real emotions! I can just seeing the worry in the mother’s eyes. Yeah I am starting to tear up.
AH! INCURABLE COUGH OF DEATH!
An especially egregious case, even.
On no! It’s consumption, isn’t it?
Mmmm….
No…
…and suddenly the title of the story becomes clear. :(
Just what I was thinking. D:
This story so hits a nerve with me! Anyone with a child I’m sure feels the same way. We haven’t even gotten to the truly sad parts, and already I have a lump in throat and tears forming!
The mother’s face! You really feel her concern!
So far, but it seems to start off with the foreboding remorse….
This isn’t like the Harp Weavers Ballad is it?
All this impending woe and despair, and here I am wondering what the little boy is playing with. Are those small picture books?
Too Sad!!
Awwwwwwwww! So sad!
