- On the Moon -

Thea, grandfather Alferd's dog died, she was so old and sick
Now is Thea on the moon, says Adrian who is six

Michael Jackson died so unexpectedly and abruptly
He is on the moon and plays with Thea, says Adrian who is a big fan

Betzy, grandfather Arild's dog died, she was also old and sick
Now Betzy is also on the moon with Thea and Michael Jackson and play all day

Great Grandmother died so unexpectedly and abruptly
Adrian who is six had difficulty understanding

Adrian who is six cried many tears for Great Grandmother
but comforted himself with the fact that she is sitting on the moon and
makes waffles to Thea, Michael Jackson and Betzy

Hi Anne Lise....reads like a heart-wrenching beautiful dream......with a couple "6 yr. old abbreviated speech" moments....nice effect....also, just in general, seems i got that "anguish-pain" feeling that comes just before tears....but didn't cry, maybe cuz your story keeps touching on the comfort of loved ones around after life on this surface......best, jimbo
