It’s a really good story, Karen. It made me cry, remembering my parents’ divorce.

This is very well written and put me in the place of the little boy. I could feel his loneliness, confusion and pain. As a child of divorced parents, I can relate to this story. There were so many times in my childhood where, I didn’t want to bring the attention on me because I was more worried about my parents and their happiness. I bottled a lot inside. Luckily I have a twin sister with whom I could talk with. But, we just ended up bottling things together. I can’t imagine how difficult it is for an only child or one who’s not as close to his/her sibling(s).

This story is not only great for a child to read or hear but, it’s good for the parents to get a glimpse of the perspective of the child.

Karyn:

I loved it. I’m an adult who keeps a lot of feelings inside and so I really connected with the story of Luke…it’s so hard. And being the child from a divorce, again…I feel.

I loved the story! I’m so proud of you!

Love to the boys!

This is a really nice story. I really enjoyed it. Smart portray of sadness in our kidâ€™s life. It is a wonderful representation of feeling helpless by keeping thoughts inside. Good job Karyn.

Such a lovely little story, told in a way that reminds us how much kids do “well up” inside. Thanks for sharing it!
