I delivered the eulogy.
And now an eight-year-old boy was standing ten feet away from me with Danny’s eyes.
Once I saw it, I couldn’t stop seeing it.
The same gray-blue color.
The same stubborn angle of the chin.
The same habit of pressing his lips together when he was frightened.
I sat down slowly.
“Sarah,” I said, “come sit with us.”
Her attention immediately shifted to Noah.
“Noah, sweetheart, I told you to wait by the restroom.”
