"A cut finger is numb before it bleeds; it bleeds before it hurts, it hurts until it begins to heal; it forms a scab and itches until finally, the scab is gone and a small scar is left where once there was a wound. Grief is the deepest wound you ever had. Like a cut finger, it goes through stages, and leaves a scar." – Tiffany M Crawford (Granddaughter daughter of Dwayne & Skye Manigault (Great Granddaughter Gran of Dwayne )
