“When it comes to death, we know that
laughter and tears are pretty much the same thing. And so,
laughing and crying, we said good-bye to my grandmother. And when we
said goodbye to one grandmother, we said good-bye to all of them.
Each funeral was a funeral for all of us. We lived and died together.
All of us laughed when they lowered my grandmother into the ground.
And all of us laughed when they covered her with dirt. And all of us
laughed as we walked and drove and rode our way back to our lonely,
lonely houses.” Junior is a hero when he can take the death of his
grandmother and turn such a tragic event into something joy full and
heart felled. “Endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles” Witch
fit quite well with Junior.
that was beautiful
