Can I tell you something? It wasn't so bad. Not so bad at all right then, me scowling at the dirt, James in his bed, the way it always always was. Look, if that's all that happened, if his dying just meant that I would be waiting for him to say something instead of listening to him say something, it would have been fine. Elizabeth McCracken
About This Quote

The story of James and his death is one that should be shared and remembered. However, the fact that he must’ve been in pain before he died is what makes this story so sad. He never got to say goodbye to his best friend, his mother, or his father. He died alone and abandoned. All those people who loved him so much could not be with him as he died as well.
