Back home, because of the box, we'd write letters to people we missed. Send 'em pictures, tell 'em things we didn't get to say when they were 'round. Some people would even leave a candle lit. It's supposed to help. [She'd only ever done so for her mother and she was never sure how it made her feel to write to a woman she never knew.] Ain't sayin' it'd make it any easier, but some people reckoned it makes the dead feel better. You could do that, if you wanted to.
