"I always thought that when, I uh... How do parents go on when they lose a child? You know, when I would see that stuff on the news, I would shut it off because it was just too horrible to think, but I would always think, 'How do they wake up every day?' I mean how do they breathe, honey?
But you do wake up, and for just a second, you forget. And then, oh, you remember. And it's like getting that call again and again, every time. You don't get to stop waking up. You have to keep on being a parent even though you don't get to have a child anymore."
