  1. Oh, this is such a sad image, Phoebe. And your words are just perfect — stark, minimal, powerful. So sad that someone so young has to experience grief so soon.

    • You know…I noticed that most of the children at the orphanage were quite mature for their age, which I think is a result of having experienced so many difficult things so early in life. Juan’s story is not uncommon… :-/

      • I’m not surprised at that. I think experience of death does age, or rather mature, a child, even beyond his/her years. Very sad, but it’s true.
