“If I ever loved someone like that… If I ever lost someone like that…” My breathing becomes rapid. “Losing my dad was horrible, but it took the life out of my mom.” I can’t catch my breath, and my hands begin to shake. “I couldn’t… I can’t.” Panic overtakes me, and I rock back and forth, sobbing. One second, I’m on the floor, the next, I’m in Matt’s arms.
