RE: Ephemeral (a 5o-Word Story for @jayna)

This is beautiful, @hlezama. You've captured that sweet innocence of a young child so well, as she grapples to understand that her grandpa's life is ebbing away. The expression comes to mind that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. I do think that is so true. The pain of a final goodbye is terrible, and yet to have loved someone and been loved by them makes life so much richer.

Thanks, @jayna. It means a lot to me that it caused that effect.

better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

A phrase to keep in mind. It is comforting to look at loss in those terms.
