“Everybody reacts different to something like this—some people cry buckets, other folks store it up inside. When someone you love dies, you get a big bowl of sadness put down in front of you, steaming hot. You can start eating now, or you can let it cool and eat it bit by bit later on. Either way, you end up eating the whole thing. There’s really no way around it.”
― Ralph Fletcher, Fig Pudding: A Heartwarming Coming-of-Age Story About Growing Up in a Loving Family for Children
