I've passed that phase, I can tell Laika's story just fine now. Even long after that, sometimes I recounted the book to a friend and I have to stop talking at the exact same part of the story (when Laika saw the earth getting far away and she thought about her family) because I know, one more word and I'd cry again. It's one of my gateway books to the outer space fandom. Why did I do that? Well, I'm still regretting that. I was actually with my mom but I might be too shocked with the story and that I was THAT affected, I just washed my face and pretended like I didn't just read a book I'm going to treasure for my whole life. I think I was in high school and I don't have my own money so I just left it there and went home without getting it. I read Laika at a book store and it hit home so hard I can't help myself weeping right there with flooding tears, snot, and whatnot.
