"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 had been waiting so long.

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.

First name, Susie.

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.

Rest in peace, my angels.

"Of course it's beautiful. It's Heaven!"
