Dispatches from the Edge

Reading Anderson's book. Yeah, Laura had two copies of it, so I took one. Don't ask. She's a little obsessed. Hee!

I was struck by a comment he made that when his brother died, he didn't feel anything at that moment. You just think you should feel something then, right? Someone so close to you. Reminds me of when my mother died and I had all these expectations of how it would go. That I would know it happened, if I weren't there at the moment... also that I would feel her presence around me afterwards. Neither of those things occurred.

Of course my aunt told me she felt Mom was with her for several weeks afterwards, so maybe that's where she was hanging out. WTH? lol.

AC jumps around in time in this book among three different timelines- a style which I loathe. But I am managing to keep up with all three stories at the same time.
