Quote #10
I can't believe I threw away his gift. […] I look up at my bedroom window and then position myself underneath it. Grandpa's moon piece should have landed right around here, but the ground is so wet and muddy that I can't find it. It must have disintegrated by now and become part of the grass. I finally give up the search, resigned to the fact that the gift is lost forever. (15.107)
