It is, for me, so sad that we don't get to connect with our dead once they're gone. Who decided that? This monologue tears me up. Such a great story, so moving, and so well told. In retrospect of course this is the story, makes perfect sense, but hearing it or reading it for the first time, imagining the performance, it's a mystery just like the tooth fairy herself. And we all want to believe.
