Child-like Crying

"Margaret was reminded of the way that very young children cry: fearlessly, shamelessly, with a total, noisy, self-centered commitment to grief that makes no apologies nor any effort whatsoever to contain the natural outflow of bodily fluids. The fact that Wanda was able to cry this way made Margaret feel sure that she had not cried much as a child. It was a if she were making up for lost time. She's an orphan, Troy had wisely observed, which summed up everything and explained a great deal." ~ Stephanie Kallos, Broken For You, p. 122
