Outsider Within


She is at the funeral for someone she barely knew, but he is her grandfather. Hearing about how great he is makes her sick. He's wonderful. He sought you out. Minister. These were all new to her. She does not feel like this. The whole family cries. She also cries - for them, not with them. She is only an outsider brought within.
