Dandelion Wine (Green Town, #1)

by Ray Bradbury

After I cry hard it’s like it’s morning again and I’m starting the day over.”

You cry just so long and everything’s fine. And there’s your happy ending. And you’re ready to go back out and walk around with folks again.

I’m not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family. I’ll be around a long time. A thousand years from now a whole township of my offspring will be biting sour apples in the gumwood shade.
