    This was fiction, but thank you for your emotional responses. Was trying to make a story out of summer.

    Geez! Glad this was fiction but, just the same, quite the tragic take on the prompt. How sad to lose a baby. Your writing has to be excellent to evoke such sorrow for a fictional character. Well done.

      Thank you, Tom. Was trying to write about hazy, hot and humid last night numerous times and gave up. Woke up today with this. I have known miscarriage and that topic came up yesterday in another group. Must have been on my mind somewhere.

      I didn't realize it would impact others so deeply.

    I love that this can be read as actual summer or a child named summer. Great job.

    This hit me a little too close to home, and I had a little cry. Beautifully done.

      Thank you, but sorry for the tears. The photo is actually a beautiful ceremony given by a town for an abandoned baby found too late. I do believe these tiny souls can feel love even if not during life in or out of the womb.

    Another one to pull at our heartstrings! Nice writing. I felt pulled into it, especially with the sad picture. Was the picture from real life experience?

      The photo is not from my life experience but from a funeral a town gave to a "found" abandoned baby. It was really beautiful how they honored the baby and gave him a name.
