" Mom died,” Nina said, and then she watched all three of
her siblings fall to the earth.
And she knew, in a flash, that she had to be able to catch
them. She had to be able to hold each of them up, as they
screamed, as the water came and soaked their socks and
squeaked into their shoes.
And so she did.
Do you know how much a body can weigh when it falls
into your arms, helpless? Multiply it by three. Nina carried
it all. All of the weight, in her arms, on her back. "
