“When it comes to death, we know that laughter and tears are pretty much the same thing.
And so, laughing and crying, we said good-bye to my grandmother. And when we said goodbye to one grandmother, we said good-bye to all of them.

And all of us laughed as we walked and drove and rode our way back to our lonely, lonely houses.”
