Relatives watching wanted and expected me to break down and cry, thereby devaluing my inner sorrow. Maybe if I had not stayed in cold England for eighteen years – England, a country where people cry in their hearts and not with their eyes – I would have done so. Eighteen years is a long time, and like the people I live with, I cried in my heart.
