Brian Doyle Quotes
I Think About The People I Know With The Absolutely Largest Hearts, People With A Stunning Capacity For Endurance And Grace And Kindness Against The Most Screaming Terrors And Pains. My Mom And Dad, For Example, Enduring The Death Of Their First Child At Six Months Old, The Boy The Brother I Never Met, Dying Quietly In His Stroller On The Porch In The Moment That My Mother Stepped Back Inside To Get A Pair Of Gloves Because The Crisp Brilliant April Wind Was Filled With A Whistling Cutting Wind....
Fifty Years Later After Five More Children And Two Miscarriages She Is Standing In The Kitchen With Her Usual Eternal Endless Cup Of Tea And I Ask Her: How Do You Get Over The Death Of Your Child?
And She Says, In Her Blunt Honest Direct Terse Kind Way,
You Don't.
Her Face Harrowed Like A Hawk For A Moment In The Swirling Steam Of The Tea.
