" The Thing is, sometimes, they [memories of loved ones] just stay sealed up, as fresh as they were when we put them there. You can go on getting by for a very long time, with those things boxed up and forgotten, and all is well. Then something comes along and jerks them out of that cubbyhole, rips off the lid, and there they are, just as fresh and alive and powerful as they were the day you stuck them there. That's the downside, the risk of not dealing with stuff when it happens. Because you can't always know which ones will die, and which ones won't, until they get sprung on you, anda knock your world sideways all over again." Addie Pearl, Ch. 5, pg. 73-74 "
