I got this story in my weekend read. They must know what I like, because the title spoke to me. It feels like one I might have written. My daughter died too; her name was Roo. Maybe that little rhyme can lighten the heavy thud, but probably not. I noticed that Roo is your daughter's dog's name, which was a little strange for me, but it's also short for Ruby. I wrote a story about her name that's doing well and a poem about losing her that's also doing pretty well. But my point isn't to plug me. I just wonder if people who've lost children see the world similarly. Productivity doesn't matter to me but clouds and trees do. You're an excellent writer. I'm glad I found your profile. If you ever want to talk about writing or child loss, I'm easy to find.
