Oh, how tragic! 🙁
I know… 🙁
So sad…😢
Wow, those eyes say it all…
So young to have to deal with losing a friend……still, it’s a sweet and poignant photo…..with a story to tell.

Yes…too young…but unfortunately, Juan’s story is not uncommon to hear. Many children at the orphanage have had to deal with loss one way or another…as you can imagine… 🙁
I love the raw reality of your post. Thank you for being a human
🙂
Heartbreaking visual.
Terribly sad, but how appropriate that his shirt says “A beautiful flower.” He is.
Indeed…Juan is very precious. 🙂
Oh, this is such a sad image, Phoebe. And your words are just perfect — stark, minimal, powerful. So sad that someone so young has to experience grief so soon.
You know…I noticed that most of the children at the orphanage were quite mature for their age, which I think is a result of having experienced so many difficult things so early in life. Juan’s story is not uncommon… :-/
I’m not surprised at that. I think experience of death does age, or rather mature, a child, even beyond his/her years. Very sad, but it’s true.
I am so sorry…that is beyond heartbreaking. (((hugs)))
I know…it was so hard to see him like that. He normally was a very joyful child.
I don’t “like” this, but it is a powerful image
I know…it was very heartbreaking seeing him like this. 🙁
I can imagine – but at least you were there to do what you could. That means a lot
Sigh…we can only do what we can… :-/
