Another Part of Ammus passing that effected me was when Rahel knew her mother was dead but Estha had yet to find out. She was talking about writing him a letter but she says" rahel neer wrote to him there are things that you can't do- like writing letters to a part of your self. to your feet or hair. Or heart." I find this passage powerful because it really shows how after all this time Rahel and Esthas bond is unbreakable. By time and anything else that challenges them.
