When Ginko came back... I couldn't believe that he was really there, right up to when I touched him. And the whole time I was talking to him, I couldn't help but think in the back of my mind - it's not fair. It's not fair that it works this way here, it's not fair that we get him back and not Mom.
But that's just the way it is here. Nothing lasts, not really. Not even death. And we never know who we're going to lose next, if they'll be sent home or if something bad happens...
So we can either try to hold on, or close ourselves off... or we can look at each day, each friendship as a gift. Just one day at a time.
[She glances over her shoulder at him, offers him a small smile.] I know which one I'm picking. I'll go get you that milk.
