It's all still there, like a movie I can watch when I want to. Which is never.

Winter is the king of showmen, Turning tree stumps into snowmen And houses into birthday cakes And spreading sugar over lakes. Smooth and clean and frosty white, The world looks good enough to bite.

Ogden Nash

When there wasn't enough food in the house you pretended that you weren't hungry so they could have more.

Then one sunny day, they walk out in all innocence and they walk right into the grief that you'd give your life to spare them from.
Betty Smith
