[quote]I don't even know who snapped this photo of Parker, but I'm glad they did. We were at Sebastian's funeral. You didn't understand that everyone was sad, in shock, numb. This is such a cute little photo of you but I will never be able to look at it without remembering the circumstances under which it was taken. Grief changes everything. It is omnipresent for those it affects. I am sad when I see this photo of you but not nearly as sad as Aunt Thatha is. What should be just a sweet grin is forever etched in our minds as something more. This grief isn't mine, but it's the only grief I've known. For that I should consider myself lucky. Instead it just makes me feel sad that I couldn't take the pain away for someone else. Grief changes everything. [/quote]
