“It's Grandma, in the farthest stall. Grandma, getting sick. It goes on for way too long, and I make myself listen instead of covering my ears, because if she has to feel that, then someone else should have to hear it. It is too lonely otherwise.”

“Of course it means you are going away from us for good," she said with a sigh. "But that does not mean I'll lose you forever. Look at my papa here; he's been dead all these years, and yet he is more real to me than almost anybody else. He never goes out of my life. I talk to him and consult him all the time. The older I grow, the better I know him and the more I understand him.”

“How wonderful a thing it is, to understand someone else without even trying to.”
