“…I never say Tim an old man or even a young one, so he just stays a boy in my mind…Memory is eccentric, how it stalls when it wants to.”

Fig Pudding

“Everybody reacts different to something like this – some people cry buckets, other folks store it up inside. When someone you love dies, you get a big bowl of sadness put down in front of you, steaming hot. You can start eating now, or you can let it cool and eat it bit by bit later on. Either way, you end up eating the whole thing. There’s really no way around it.”

~from Fig Pudding by Ralph Fletcher

When Jamie saw him throw the baby, saw Van throw the little baby, saw Van throw his little sister Nin, when Jamie saw Van throw his baby sister Nin, then they moved.
