Found this piece thanks to the link from Chris LaTray, and I look forward to reading more.

Your description of Late Afternoon as making people cry with joy may be accurate for some and not for others based on life experience and age. It's not joy the piece evokes for me as the final emotion; my mom had dementia for many years and didn't know my name for a long time before she died. Tears, yes. A beautiful piece and well worth watching so thank you for sharing it.

Thank you for coming by. I didn't mean to say those specific tears were joy. And I know what you mean, personally. But I think there is still some joy to find in that short animated story.l, along with the sadness.

Oh for sure. Loved it. Just felt sorrow at the end.
