I have a little brother, too, so I think I can sympathize with Lydia. He didn't die, though... I thought that was so sweet how Matthew was saying how much he liked it in heaven. As morbid as death is in stories, I think it's a good way to get the reader's attention and also a good way for the characters to reflect on their relationships with the person. I like it.
Such a sad story. If that ever happened to my little sister, who is ironically named Hayley, I would die. I love the connection you showed between the siblings and how you showed the brother's thoughts too. I'll start judging when I get all entries in. Thanks!
