I questioned myself sometimes, because when I was a baby they apparently took care of me and things like that, but still... I never really "knew" them. I guess it's not wrong to feel nothing in a situation like that. I know I would definitely be one of those ones to cry immediately and not "go blank" ... that's just my way of handling stuff. I know this because I've had moments of shock where someone close to me might've been in real danger, but it was nothing in the end ... however, I got really upset and just started thinking about what would happen if he weren't in my life... oh man, it was the worst thing. But sort of enlightening too because up til that point, to be honest, I never really knew whether or not I could care about another person that way... sounds cold-hearted, no? It's true though. I think with death, we all don't know how to handle it until the time comes and it really hits hard one way or another.
