Quest to shed a tear
"Story story!"
My grandma would say under the cool breeze of the midnight sky, with the moon, shining with all its' splendor above us. "Story"!!, we would call out like little chicks.
It was always the intro to a heartbreaking or heartwarming story.

All this she did, to help us forget the missing spot our mum would fill if she was here.
We were young at that time, I, the eldest was just an eighth year...
