"Mom and I talked about how it's been almost four months since dad died, and she said that it hits her the most when she reads a comic in the newspaper or an article and thinks, 'Oh, I have to tell Donn about that,' but she can't.

"That's okay," Katie says from the other room. "I pray to a god I don't believe in all the time."
