Heartbreaking visual.
Terribly sad, but how appropriate that his shirt says “A beautiful flower.” He is.
Indeed…Juan is very precious. ๐
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.
I am so sorry…that is beyond heartbreaking. (((hugs)))
I know…it was so hard to see him like that. He normally was a very joyful child.
I don’t “like” this, but it is a powerful image
I know…it was very heartbreaking seeing him like this. ๐
I can imagine – but at least you were there to do what you could. That means a lot
Sigh…we can only do what we can… :-/
