THE MAGICAL TRAVEL CARD

About understanding grief and grasping love

Gerda had just turned 8 on the day her grandfather died. Or “gone away”, as the adults said. At first, Gerda had not understood that he was dead, because lately he had often gone away, but they always found him again. But now grandpa was gone. Forever. And with him the joy was gone. And a longing as big as an elephant had weighed so heavily on Gerda’s chest that she could hardly breathe. Or sleep at night. Or playing with her dog… Right up until the day the magical travel card appeared.
