How Did Your Great Grandmother Tell You That?

Sophie said, soon all of this will be gone. It was totally out of the blue. She wasn't an anxious child at all. And she didn't say it in a way that was doom and gloomy or that seemed like an expression of anxiety. But I've thought about it a lot. Maybe if children are maybe a little more in touch with our fleetingness, our transience are here today, gone to Marowness then perhaps we might feel more precarious too.
