Summary
Winry lost her parents when she was really young. She’d been waiting for them to come home from her, perched on the porch every night until the sun went down, but what arrived in their place was the worst possible news. They were dead, killed in their medical tent, only trying to help people.
The grief tears her apart inside. She’s old enough to understand what it means that they are dead, that they are never coming home for her, and it hurts. It kills her. She can’t bring herself to get up and play for the first few days. Her grandmother tries to help, but there’s nothing she can say to ease this pain. Trisha, the mother of her best friends, offers an open ear, open arms, and all the comfort a mother can, but it isn’t right. It isn’t what she needs.
She needs her mother and her father to walk through her bedroom door and wrap her up in their arms. But they won’t, even if part of her wishes every night that they will.
