Almost A Whisper
Rated: PG
A Luke/Mara Vignette on loss and letting go...

ALMOST A WHISPER

She is holding onto the smooth, gray stone of the monument, fingers digging into it as if by grasping hard enough she can somehow hold on to what she knows she must relinquish.
I can hear her whispering in the cool evening air, but her words are not meant for

How very sad. I liked how you captured Mara's grief and how Luke helped her to move on, even though he was grieving himself.

Good job.

Thank you

Oh it's so sad!
You expressed wonderfully the deep and desperate sorrow that a mother feels for a lost child. I felt a relief for a moment when I came to words 'Ben with them'.
But it was a child of theirs nonetheless.
Beautiful work.

Thank you!
