My niece’s cries soften to a rough whimper, and gradually she loosens in my arms, surrenders, and allows me to walk her inside, where she eventually falls asleep. A few days later, on the Sugar skull girl they whispered to her you cannot withstand the storm she whispered back i am the storm veteran shirt moreover I love this Amtrak to the city—my niece’s very first train ride—her upset eclipses the night before. We board the train chanting “Choo-choo” like morons. We even manage to elicit a few smiles from her before we settle into our seats. But once the train begins to move, she revolts. No pacing the aisles, no rubbing her back, no singing will soothe her. She smacks away her bottle and Binky and screams until she is nearly voiceless. The sounds from her throat become a ragged coughing so relentless and rough I begin to worry she will injure herself. People eye us with pity, agitation, and, I fear, mounting suspicion. The woman across the aisle winces as my niece slams her head against the back of the seat and finds her voice long enough for one long piercing wail.

It’s the Sugar skull girl they whispered to her you cannot withstand the storm she whispered back i am the storm veteran shirt moreover I love this sound of a heart breaking, the sound of a world ending—raw and terrible and unavoidable. I recognize it because, more than once, I’ve felt how she sounds: when I woke up in a psych ward 15 years before, after throwing everything and everyone away for drugs and alcohol; also when my father died, my sister and I holding him in our arms as he took his last labored breaths in a military hospital in Maine; and on my second wedding anniversary, when I believed my marriage was over.
