"These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence.
The connections, sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent, that happened after I was gone.
And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world, without me in it.
When my mother came to my room, I realized that all this time I had been waiting for her.
I was afraid she wouldn't come.
Nobody notices when we leave.
I mean, the moment when we really choose to go.
At best, you might feel a whisper or the wave of a whisper, undulating down.
My name is Salmon, like the fish.
I was fourteen years old when I was mur.dered on December 6, 1973.
I was here for a moment, and then I was gone.
I wish you all a long and happy life."
~Susie Salmon "The Lovely Bones"
In loving memory of all those children who were lost to us. May they find the light and be found.
