It’s odd, isn’t it? People die every day and the world goes on like nothing happened. But when it’s a person you love, you think everyone should stop and take notice. That they ought to cry and light candles and tell you that you’re not alone. Kristina McMorris
About This Quote

When someone close to you dies, it’s like you lose one of the only people who understand what it’s like to be you. When someone close to you dies, it’s like they died for no real reason other than that they were around at just the right time. People die every day and the world goes on like nothing happened. But when it’s a person you love, you think everyone should stop and take notice.

That they ought to cry and light candles and tell you that you’re not alone. You wish that everyone were as understanding as everyone else is when something bad happens to someone else.
