“The sky has fallen down many times in your daughter\u2019s short life, the sky with all the stars in it, and you have picked up the pieces more times than you can remember, and you have climbed the ladder and put them back in place, where you think they should go, and you get things in backwards and out of sequence, but you do the best you can, and you climb down off the ladder, and you\u2019re at peace with your work. You wish it could be better, but there\u2019s only one of you, and the sky is so vast, it takes a while to put it back together again, and you did the best you could.<\/p>\n
And you just went through all that work, and here is the goddamned sky scattered all over the carpet again.”<\/p>\n
