Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day...that tear is just breaking my heart! What a beautiful photo...

Thanks, everyone, for the lovely comments - we just learned that a change of her medication has had dramatic results and she will be off the I.V. and back to school tomorrow. Hurray!

I saw this in the thumbnail and loved it - then i read the story and saw the tear...hope all is well soon

tell her to find objects in the clouds...my daddy and I would lay out like this and find pictures in the clouds...maybe then she can get her mind off being sick...poor baby and such a darling child.... great photo...you will treasure this...hope and pray for safe recovery....just get her to start looking for pictures in the sky

Bless her!

Makes me want to cry. That tear that you captured....heartbreaking. I hope she is up and running about SOON!

Such a heartbreaking image. Bless her heart. This is beautifully composed and shot. I hope she feels better soon!

Powerful photo, beautiful girl, if we could only take all their sadness away!

My sweet girl. Give her a hug from me.

Oh goodness, this is heartbreaking. I hope she feels better soon. That tear streaking down her face makes the shot.

This photo is so heartfelt....hope she will be OK. Great capture on her beautiful face, tear and so much sadness.....great shot!

I didn't notice the tear until I clicked on your photo. You certainly captured an emotional moment. Bravo.

Yes, this is a very special shot....it communicates so much. Great use of color! Hope she will be feeling all better soon!

What a wonderful capture. Her sadness is something we have all felt, and as adults, we know it will get better, but how hard it is to be that age.

She looks so sad. Hope she's feeling better soon!
