Quote #10
Today was the first morning that Mango's death didn't crush me the second I opened my eyes. It actually waited until I had turned off the alarm and pushed down my covers. Dad said that any progress is a good thing, but I still don't see the purple spirals that I used to see when my alarm went off. I admit it—I miss those purple spirals. (15.85)
Poor Mia has a hard time getting back to normal after Mango dies. It's not as simple as burying her cat and moving on; she feels his loss every single time she wakes up. It hits her like a ton of bricks because she's so used to him being around. She shows us all of the ups and downs of losing someone.
