in a park behind her house.

Apparently, she ran away

from home once

and tried to live there.

It was this story

her aunt told at the funeral.

She was trying

to become a squirrel.

She thought she could

turn into one

just by being in the forest...

...and wanting it really bad.

I guess maybe that's

what Mr. McCarthy meant...

...about someone's life

continuing to unfold.

learning something new

about Rachel after she died.

But somehow,

it was reassuring as well.
