-
But these are troubling times.
-
I know you miss Ike very much.
-
And I know you miss your parents very much.
-
It's a curious thing, the death of a loved one.
-
It's like climbing the stairs to your room in the dark,
-
thinking that there's one more stair than there is.
-
And your foot falls through the air,
-
and there is a sickly feeling of dark surprise.
-
- That's exactly what it's like. - It's terrifying.
-
But today I realized, with my hands full of limes,
-
you can't be terrified forever.
-
I think I am ready to be fierce and formidable again.
