Being pulled like a wishbone

Shannon, something about this (probably the whole thing) makes my stomach hurt, in a good way.  God... "no bye-bye daddy".

Now, nitty gritty.  On the one hand I understand the repetition of "hot tears" but on the other, is it an interesting enough phrase? The other thing I thought of is the title.  Do you think maybe just "Wishbone" would do?  The pulling is implied, I think... at least for me.

All things considered, this is a very poignant bit of writing.  I'd actually like to see a few of these gathered together for a larger piece.
