Name ideas for my short story?

I'm writing a short story about a young Albertan boy named Owen. After the First World War broke out, Owen's father had to go and fight. He returned physically unharmed, but not psychologically. While his father suffers from post traumatic stress, Owen takes it upon himself to make money for his family. His family survived on inheritance left by his grandparents, but it wasn't enough. He goes through many hardships, but knows it's worth it when he comes home to his younger sisters smiling face. He later finds out his relatives want him and his family to move to Vancouver so they can take care of them. Unfortunately they can't care for his father, so Owen decides he won't leave his father behind. His younger sister ends up catching the Spanish Influenza and Owen learns to let go of his emotional attachment to his father. This isn't the actual plot line I wrote, but this is the basic summary of the story. I haven't thought of a name yet. I'm thinking of developing it into a novella, but I need a name that catches the readers attention. It should have feeling to it, but I want it to be relevant the story.
