How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
But most amazingly, most miraculously, now Ob is insisting that May was, is, right here with us. That she came back a few days ago and is truly right here with us. (2.6)
Uncle Ob has to believe that Aunt May's still around, looking over their shoulders—it's the only way he can keep thinking that he'll be able to communicate with his beloved wife in some way.
Quote #2
I believe in ghosts. Maybe angels would be a better word for them. But ghosts seems more to the point. So if Ob says May was here, I figure she was. (2.33)
Summer is ready to jump on that ghost-hunting Kool-Aid too. After all, she loved Aunt May just as much as Uncle Ob did, plus she's willing to do anything as long as it helps Uncle Ob recover from his debilitating grief.
Quote #3
"I passed on. I did. I remember this light ahead of me and reaching out to it. I went after it, and suddenly everything was brilliant white, and I swear to God, my grandpa was there smiling at me and—you won't believe this part—my little dog Cicero who'd been dead three years, he was with me, too." (4.34)
And here's yet another reason why Uncle Ob gets along so well with Cletus—the kid likes old pictures, talks about weird things, and might have some kind of link to the spirit world.
