“IN LEO’S ROOM, I FIND the small stuffed giraffe, Max, on the floor beside the bed. I carry him down the hall, feeling the soft synthetic fur, the thick plush: all the pain and grief and tragedy accreted on this thing of string and cloth and stuffing, but how much Leo loves it, needs it, is soothed by it. That, I suppose, is how the brave do it, they just put it all together, the good and the bad, and they hold it tight to themselves, and walk on with it.”
― Jacqueline Holland, The God of Endings
