To listen, feel, cry, and understand

From Sendak's lastest book, "Bumble-ardy"

The other day, while listening to "Fresh Air", a poignant, loving interview made me cry and understand.

In loving memory of Vera, Uncle Glenn, and Aunt Al and the many elderly in our lives who have felt and are feeling the same as Mr. Sendak when he says, "I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more. ... What I dread is the isolation. ..."

Listen to the "Fresh Air" interview (Terry Gross) with Maurice Sendak here:
