Whistling Past the Graveyard

by Susan Crandall

“Sometimes laughin’ is all a body can do, child. It’s laugh or lose your mind.”

I understand real clear. A body can’t run from what they done. They carry it with them inside. It fester and spread like poison if it’s buried. It gotta be out in the air where it can heal.”

“Some of the best things in life come when you’re not planning on them. It’s important to see them for the gift they are.”
