Liam pressed his nose to the glass, watching for his parents' car to return from the hospital. His hands fidgeted with the dragonfly plush, a gift he'd chosen for his soon-to-arrive sister. The room felt alive with anticipation, every corner waiting for Caroline’s laughter to fill it.
"I can’t wait to meet her. I’ll show her all my secret places,"
Caroline[/@ch_2] is cradled in her parents' arms, wrapped in a pastel blanket. The air is thick with joy and gentle awe, the scent of fresh flowers lingering.]
Liam tiptoed closer, wide-eyed and careful, his heart pounding with wonder. Caroline yawned, her tiny fist closing around his finger. The family gathered, laughter and quiet tears mingling in the warmth.
"She’s so small, but I promise to take care of her,"
Liam sits curled beside his parents, clutching the dragonfly plush. Caroline lies still, her spirit slipping away as the doctors quietly step back. Tears gather in Liam's eyes, grief filling the room like a tide.
"Why can’t she come home with us?"
Liam presses his face to the glass, mesmerized by the swirling cloud of dragonflies. His parents kneel beside him, arms wrapped around his shoulders. The dragonflies dance, painting hope into the grief-stricken morning.
"Look, Liam. Dragonflies mean hope and change. Maybe Caroline sent them to tell us she’s okay,"
Liam[/@ch_1]'s windowsill, their colors vibrant against the green.]
Liam follows their flight, feeling Caroline’s presence in each shimmering wing. Sometimes, a dragonfly lands on his hand, and he whispers secrets meant only for his sister. The world feels changed, filled with gentle reminders of her love.
"Whenever I see a dragonfly, I know she’s close. She’s sending me little signs,"
Liam[/@ch_1] sits by his window, the dragonfly plush nestled beside him. Outside, dragonflies dance in the fading light, a living tapestry of memory and hope.]
Liam smiles, thinking of Caroline. He knows their bond is unbreakable, woven into every fluttering wing and glowing sunset. The dragonflies remind him that love endures, even when someone is gone.
"Thank you, Caroline. I’ll always remember you,"
