I think I have bin overthinking and over doing my other entries in this contest so this time I decided to try making it simple, sticking to my old style but in new medium. My favorite characters, fox and bear sticking together even do it´s winter and the bear should be sleeping.

An article concerning a family that was torn apart by a senseless car crash (teenagers street racing) moved me recently. The parents died and the children survived but with significant injuries. It made me think about the anguish the children must be experiencing, especially during the holidays when friends and family normally gather together in the warmth and security of their homes. The sense of togetherness must take on a completely different meaning for them. Having experienced the loss of many loved ones, I too have begun to see togetherness in a different light. There is a sense of joy mingled with sorrow ... a deep appreciation but an ineffable sense of grief.

@notfitkid wow...this piece is so well done. It is a very powerful image. Well done.

[notfitkid]

@K-Flagg Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words, Kelly.

@notfitkid beautiful work -I'll include these kids in my prayers tonight. I have lost all my grandparents, last was 2 years past. This is very impactful now also with people not being able to visit loved ones in the hospital, with Christmas time coming soon also.

@notfitkid Didn't expect this take on this month's prompt. Beautiful work, full of emotions.

@Heather-Boyd I am so sorry to hear that you lost both sets of your grandparents in such a short span of time. It sounds like you were close to them as well. The relationship that a child has with a grandparent can be such a blessing and can often be more impactful than that of a parent. I also agree with the fact that covid-19 has made it even more difficult for many who are hospitalized. Many families are not even allowed to visit their loved ones. It is hard not to feel a sense of heartbreak knowing that many are hurting and alone especially during the holidays. Thank you for the encouraging words

[notfitkid]

@ArtofJoseGalue Definitely many reasons to celebrate but also such a difficult season for many who are hurting. Thank you, Jose, for your kind words as well.

[Heather Boyd]

@notfitkid oh no sorry I just meant my last grandparent died just two years back. One I lost when I was a teenager and two others when I was super young and don't remember them at all. I have had a lot of people I have known pass away though.

Well now I feel a little shallow. All I did was cute fuzzy animals with fancy clothes. I love that everyone is really exploring the depths of human experience.

@Heather-Boyd I see.. I am so sorry for misunderstanding what you meant to say. You must have gone through so much having experienced so much loss. It has a way of changing your perspective on life, relationships...on everything. Thank you for sharing a bit about your life experiences with me.
