I'm sorry, askye. You might suggest someone call a suicide/ mental health hotline to see if they have resources for telling little kids.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, askye, I am so sorry.
And I am also very sorry about Layla, Scrappy, but am glad you both had each other for so many wonderful years.

Thrive to spite them
I talked to Mom again and it's all kinda fuzzy but she was actually taken to the hospital and her mother and step dad had the hospital had a counselor there that talked to them. And that counselor is going to call and talk to my brother.

Scrappy, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Ginger, I was reading the Little House book to my niece and got to that part (which I had completely forgotten about) and started bawling. So beautiful.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Scrappy, I'm sorry your time with Layla was even shorter than you first expected. You did the right thing, though. And she knew she was loved. Ease and comfort to you.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
