It's why I had to give three speeches at my own parents' funeral, and also--I'm assuming--why I heard my great-uncle Joseph call me an "empty robot" under his breath when I sat back down again.
I don't understand it, but there's just something in me that knows how to stand still when the earth shatters.”
