So sad for a child to lose her mother at such a young age, her grief will stay with her a long time until she can come to terms with it. Good luck in the contest, I hope you are well Line. Tom

Hello Lin, losing a parent at any age is rough. Yet it is worse for a child at the age of 12.A child needs her mother. Hugs Darlene
