My youngest was assigned a short story writing assignment. Weeks ago I suggested she write about a girl whose mom had a brain tumor. It is something she knows about and can add the emotions and insights to the story. Tonight I read the story and she killed me off! To be fair, I think she did it to meet the page requirements and still resolve the story. But, something in me is laughing with disbelief. She killed me off!
I think honestly, it is a good story. She resolved it. And I think it means she is not afraid for me now.
