Oh, I’m not going to need that heart you just ripped out anymore…it’s okay…
This is probably one of the only things about this strip that will make me laugh…
That last pannel…so sad. :(
Maybe I’m a horrible person, but the last panel made me laugh. I guess it’s because I’m volunteer in the nursery at my church, but it’s so typical– he’s just fine until the moment he sees his mom, then it’s tears and wailing.
Actually, it made me laugh too. He’s suddenly there, seemingly clueless as to his fate, and bursts out crying like any other child would do. It’s cute, and knowing how kids are, it is chuckle-worthy – in an endearing sort of way.
You know, this made me well up more than this actual comic page. Just the thought of this little child not understanding whats different and acting so typical, and thinking of how it must tear apart his mother… I… gah… so much tearyness…
I feel just as if it were my own. I don’t want to continue reading this one, but I know I will!
Oi yo, stay strong!
The last two panels are cute, it is how a normal child would react. That said this is really difficult for me to read. My five year old little brother passed away ten years ago and the kind of pain my mother went through is indescribable. I don’t think there is any pain worse than losing a child.
This almost brought me to tears. I can’t imagine losing my own daughter and I don’t know about reading this one comic anymore until the next one.. But I probably will still read it..
This is really making me teary. It’s wonderful how emotional it is without a single word needed to tell the story.
I was about to cry… and then I read the comments.
So here I was, music on shuffle, checking comics. And just as I got here Heaven’s Not Enough came on. ;.-.;
I look at this and frankly I am on the verge of tears, (men do cry, you know). My wife lost her oldest child at that age and if she read this, believe me she’d break down; it may’ve been 41 years but parents never forget: no parent should ever, ever outlive their child! I can’t possibly imagine losing a child…the heartbreak this mom feels I, too, feel. How can any of you laugh at this?? Sheesh!!!
The people who say they had a laugh explained that. They also said they were not laughing at the death of the child, just the behavior of the ghost child saying it was so much like a normal kid’s reaction. Reading others comments fully might just help you a bit in understanding another person’s reasons.
That said I also understand where you could feel offended by that, yet even so I urge you take a bit more time before jumping to conclusions.
Dear Ran;
It ain’t that I don’t see the reason for the laughter: yes, our other boys did that sorta thing so the reaction is understandable. But as 13th protector said, my wife never got to hold her son. This is just so sad and lamentable. Very good story and well placed so please don’t think I’m being a pisser over this, just that it touches a painful spot in our family, is all.
Oh man I cried after seeing this page :(
Just gutted! :(
The ghost seems different from my imagined, but it is all from your imagination so I won’t complain.
And, please don’t start crying too, I got a friend who just started bawling when she saw this, she lost a child too, never even got to see it before it passed. :(
children have mirror reflexes. They see us get upset, they get upset. Poor things…both of them.
See… I see this as an opportunity for closure…
Apparently she doesn’t. She sees this as an opportunity to QQ moar and make sure her dead kid knows just how messed up she is. GG, silly woman. ¬_¬
