Industrial carpeting and brown leather chairs

I'm sitting in the lobby of a children's hospital, and everyone is smiling.
I don't know why, upstairs their children are dying.
Maybe they're smiling because their children are still here for now.
Or maybe they're smiling because they know they won't be for much longer.
Maybe they're smiling because they still can.

  2. I love this one so much. I had to choose between this one and your only child piece for the top 5.

    I couldn't decide.

    I still don't know.
