WHEN ADULTS tell you about dying, they talk about your pet or an elderly neighbor, or your grandpa or your grandma. And when they tell you about dying, they tell you it’s okay to cry, they tell you it’s okay to be angry, they tell you it’s even okay to laugh & still have fun. But what they don’t tell you is that the sadness & anger & laughter don’t wait their turn. No. Sometimes sadness & anger & laughter come all at once, on the same day. Sometimes in a burst, sometimes a slow trickle.
