Sarah's grandfather has passed away, and the family has come to say goodbye. Everyone has stories and memories about grandpa, and Sarah does, too. She lives with her grandparents, but with everyone there, she can't tell her memories; she just cries.
What a sweet story. There are a lot of stories about grieving and losing a loved one. This is one I might share with a child who has lost a grandparent. It's not upsetting; it's uplifting and hopeful.
The family is black
