She wished she could have told him that life was already full of dread, no matter who you were. That there was nothing you could have that you couldn’t one day lose. That autumn always gave way to winter, but it was her favorite time of year—those fleeting bursts of beauty before the branches went bare.

This was sad, and lovely, and filled with breathtaking layers of grief: for those we've lost, for the losses we've yet to face, for the pain we've inflicted upon the only Earth we have, and for the pain assuredly yet to come to this brilliant planet. I adored this tiny little seedling of a story, even if it hurt.
