Disappointed: when things don't go the way you hoped, sentence 4
What she understood: disappointment and gratefulness can sit side by side, and both are normal; talking to Mum about the dog dream, instead of pretending, let the big feeling shrink, and learning about hamsters made room for the small one she had.
Who acts: feeling, disappointment, both, big feeling · What happens: understand, sit, be, talk, pretend, let · To what, where: side, room, small one
