Yes,I have lost someone I loved . I lost my great grandma to natural causes. She died in the hospital,after going to the bathroom; the doctors said. I didn't really concern myself because i didn't really crying,till it hit me that i would never see my grandma again. I cried that day. I cannot compare this to the story. The boy in the story in the story did not cry ,the boy knew he could not be a boy anymore , the could not cry ,he had to become a man. He sucked it up and got that orange.
