Connecting to Holden

My connection to Holden is about death. I just recently lost my grandpa. I know what he is going through. Death is a very difficult thing to deal with. Holden lost his brother and has his brothers mitt. I have a teddy bear my grandpa gave me while he was going through his triple by pass surgery. We also dried flowers from his funeral and had them made into key chains and necklaces. Everytime I look at one of these items I think of him. Its comforting to see those things. Its very sad that Holden had to deal with this. I can connect with Holden because I know how he feels and what he has been through.
