Description: Kelsey Lizee Cecil on losing both parents and publishing Rally Takes the Train, the children's book her mom always wanted to write.

Feeling alone after losing your parents, even with people all around you, usually comes from losing the two people who kept track of your life without being asked. Nobody's waiting to hear how your day went in quite the same way, and that quiet is a real loss. It gets easier when you rebuild a few small ways of being expected, by specific people, on purpose.
