Reminiscing

While going through Facebook I saw this comic about Venusaur adopting this Charmander and no matter how many times I read it brings me to tears.  I'm not sure why it makes my heart ache.  Every now and then I realize that mortality is a very real thing and there's always the prospect of someone I hold dear passing into the next life.  It's tragic to lose precious people. 
     Right now, while I am still experiencing nostalgia, I remembered a strange memory from when I was a child:

While I was living in Alaska my family was settling into a new house and structure.  My father had just won the custody case against my mother and my babysitter had just become my new mom.
     My new mom read books to me.  One of the books I remember distinctly was Love You Forever.  This story has always remained at the back of my mind.
