Quote #10
Grandma was there, watching through the watches of the night for the train to pass through. She couldn't know what car I was in, but her hand was up, and she was waving—waving big at all the cars, hoping I'd see.
And I waved back. I waved long after the window filled with darkness and long distance. (8.6-8.7)
Even though she knows that the army train won't stop as it rides through her town, Grandma stays up all night—and keeps all the lights on—so that she can wave at Joey. She wants him to know that she's watching for him…and that she loves him.
