Anne Libby @annelibby.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I've remembered a chat with my mom maybe 15 years ago, when we had little kids around. I saw a Bambi DVD at her house, and remembered Mom talking to me about Faline's death, before we saw the movie. I asked her why she had done that. It was because experts had advised parents to prepare their kids. 000
