It had been almost a week, yet still the pain was too much for Gwen. Her beloved mother had passed away so suddenly, that at times she struggled to make sense of it. Her brother Elyan did his best to keep her going, but she could tell he too was hurting. As for her father Tom, he walked around as if in shock. To say her death had been unexpected, was to be an understatement.
The whole family had come back from Camelot's summer fate, everyone in happy spirits. Tom and Effa, were just thankful that their daughter was enjoying herself for an afternoon. It had been a tough year one way and another, money was tight. Effa was conscious that most of her daughter's clothes were hand me downs, while some of her friends had nicer dresses.
"Oh stop worrying mother." Gwen would laugh, "this is lovely." She would say as her mother handed Gwen, her latest creation.
"I just wish I could give you something new." Effa, would sigh.
"I've got everything I want." Gwen would smile back, "Stop worrying." She would always end up, hugging Effa, before darting off outside.
They had moved to Camelot, to improve their prospects, yet so far, not much had changed for the family. So a day out, was some light relief for the worried parents. They could at least give their children a nice day out, and get away from their own worries for a bit.
But the next morning Gwen woke up to the news that her mother had gone, having died suddenly in the night. She felt her heart would break. For her dad though, she'd be brave.
Outside she could hear the children shout, "Here comes the sun." But Gwen still felt as if it was the middle of the night.
