Quote #10
At first I cried only for me and all my years of pain and anger and grief. But then I cried for Mama and Aunt Belle, who loved him, too. Still, I couldn't bring myself to cry for Daddy, whose wonderful face had been scarred beyond repair. I couldn't forgive him for leaving us the way he did.
Then a great weariness and a deep sadness settled over me and I slept. (18.75-76)
