Okay, I'm a little bit calming down from mourning.

Why? Well then, when I was laying on my bed, I swear I have fantasized Zita approaching me trying to reassure me it was not my fault and I wouldn't have been able to prevent her death. (I was born almost 20 years later after Zita's passing)

At least my tears are not pouring.
