Oh, my. So emotional. I read it and needed to walk away for a couple of days. A child alone 😥 As Annelise said, heart touching 💔

The image of Sophy begs to write a story. Thanks for the heads up that her life will be happier than this moment.

I really feel the heads up is necessary. Sophy has been left in a terrible place at the end of this installment.

The image was made for this story. You pegged the emotions of a nine-year old perfectly.
