Then I was worried it would be too easily brightened. Thing is, it continued to surprise me. I'm still confused about, “It’s just life.

I loved the imagery........though a sad story, somehow the nature described is comforting to the reader. The messages about life, love and loss are powerful. I feel honored to have read your story Nathaniel. Excellent job. This is a beautiful and well written story.
