We Were Six Comments

2 - I left off believing in God long ago, but the concept is interesting: ..either God OR a little boy whose " erasing is his pleasure" . Ok we were (and still are) 5 (one girl) if one does not count the first 2 boys, dead at birth or soon after. thanks bri :)

1- I don't understand: " I have heard that void is this ruing me" " void" used as an adjective or a noun here? rue: " bitterly regret (something one has done or allowed to happen) ." (cont.)

We too are six. Four girls and two boys. My eldest sister passed away a year and a half before! I can feel your grief...! I have read the Malayalam version of it! I cannot say which is better. Reading this I am reminded of the famous lines of Shakespeare in King Lear.... 'As flies to wanton boys/ Are we to the Gods. They kill us for their sport! ' A touching write!

I am one of six as well. Five boys and one girl. My sypathies on your loss, my friend.
