There are so many cruel decisions parents have to make when their child dies. The funeral director requested a sheet for the coffin, and I sent the cozy flannel one, pale blue with happy snowmen, that had just been put away with the winter linens.

当孩子死后，父母不得不做出许多残酷的决定。殡仪馆馆长要了一张铺在棺材上的床单，我送来了舒适的法兰绒床单，淡蓝的，上面画着快乐的雪人，那是刚和冬天的床单放在一起的。
