A terrible emptiness settles into my chest. No matter how much I go about living, there are always small reminders that make the loss fresh again."
"Ain't that a sight? With all the things we know and learn, we still ain't touched the big mysteries -- where we come from, where we go next, why we even her. And when something truly miraculous happens, we run and hide in our caves. We deny."
