The Grown-ups
There’s someone downstairs I can hear them come in. Nana said to stay up here. Mama went away to get better Nana said. Daddy is all quiet – where did she go ? I was hiding behind the door, heard Daddy say ” Mama hasn’t got long for this world.” Don’t know what that means. I want her back, I miss her so much.

You captured a horrible thing through the eyes of a child beautifully, Francine. I is heartbreaking to lose a parent when one is so young. 🙁

Thank you Kat, it is so poignant for a child, I agree.
