Easier now… until I think about it. Then I discover that tears are right there on the surface, just waiting for a memory. So I let them fall and have a moment. But then I go on. I always carry him with me, so it’s not like I’m alone. Same with my parents and dear friends. As long as I’m alive, they are too.
