" Here’s the best I’ve come up with about recovering from the death of somebody we love. It goes like this.
When we were little, maybe one or so, we learn how to walk. Somehow we figure out how to get up on our 2 two feet and take a scary step forward.
Maybe we fall down. But we get up again. We take another step.
We move forward. We move on.
We just don’t forget. "
