to you anymore, Maureen.

I don't ever want to be

close to you again.

Mama?

Mm-hmm.

I don't want

to be at church today.

Can I go

with daddy, please?

All right.

Mama, I loved him.

I don't know how to stay

alive without him.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

You know, Dani...

you and Maureen

are going to be sisters

for a long time.

Don't ask me

to forgive her...

because I can't.

You've got a right

to grieve, Dani.

You got a right

to be hurt.

But if you get so wrapped up

in your own pain

that you can't see

anyone else's,

then you might just as well

dig yourself a hole...

and pull the dirt in

on top of you,

because you're never going

to be much use to yourself...

or anyone else.

You don't know

what she did.

I know enough.

I know

hating your sister

is not going

to bring Court back.

Maureen's been good to you

all your days.

Remember that.

She's hurting bad

right now...

hurting as much as you.

Maybe more.

[Echo of Dani]

Hey!

[Echo of Court]

Hey yourself!

You ready?

Just hold on, ok?

go!

[Sobbing]

It's ok.

It's ok.

It's ok.

Dani:
Maureen...

is it always going

to hurt this bad?

Mama says it won't.

I hope she's right.

I hope so.

You know...

sometimes...

I think that nothing's ever

going to make sense again.

Maybe life's not

supposed to make sense.

Doesn't that scare you?

Yes, it does.

I wish I could

still talk

to the man

in the moon...

don't you?

It would be nice.

Maureen?

What?

Will we always

talk to each other?

Always.
