I carried Gram into his room and layed him on his bed, "Mommy will you sing to me, like you're daddy use to, you always tell me the songs he sang to you, in german and stuff" He said I thought about the one song he taught me, the only one i really knew well enough "okay."

I thought "Ein Männlein steht im Walde ganz still und stumm, Es hat von lauter Purpur ein Mäntlein um. Sagt, wer mag das Männlein sein, Das da steht im Wald allein Mit dem purpurroten Mäntelein." then i began to sing it again but in english "A little man stands in the woods, quiet and mute He wears a purple little coat, Tell me, who may be the little man, Who stands in the woods all alone, With his purple little coat." I sang softly and brushed his hair between my fingers. when he fell asleep I went over to Mikeys and I's room and curled up next to him.

"Good Night" I whisperd
