Children Quote by Brigid Kemmerer

““Zoe is survived by her husband, Charles, and her daughter, Juliet. Survived. This guy is right. The words we use to surround death are bizarre. Like we’re hiding something. I guess the obituary wouldn’t read right if it said something like, Zoe died on the way home from the airport, after nine months on assignment in a war zone, leaving her husband, Charles, and her daughter, Juliet, with a Welcome Home cake that would sit in the refrigerator for a month before either of them could bear to throw it away. So maybe we are hiding something.””
