“When she is happy, she can't stop talking, when she is sad she doesn't say a word.”
“She laughed so easily when she was happy. But also when she was sad.”

“Mom's crying a bit, quietly, the way she always does. She never utters a sound even when she's crying, and that makes me a little sad. Doesn't seem right. When you cry, people should hear you. The world should stop. I squeeze Mom's hand and she squeezes back. I don't say anything, but at least she knows I've heard her. (Going Bovine)”
