Quote 1

A moment later, the icicle fell. They heavy coldness of it threw him off balance just enough for him to stumble and pitch forward. I would be weeks before the snow in the ravine melted enough to uncover him. (Epilogue.30)

We feel like Susie helped the icicle fall, but there's just no way to know! How frustrating. What do you think? What or who makes the icicle fall? Does it just fall by itself?

Quote 2

Samuel walked out to Lindsey then, and there she was in his arms […] born ten years after my fourteen years on Earth: Abigail Suzanne, little Susie to me. (Epilogue.33)

The crowning symbol of love for Susie, a new Susie!

Quote 3

"Now I am in the place I call this wide wide Heaven because it includes all my simplest desires but also the most humble and grand. The word my grandfather uses is comfort. (Epilogue.15)

This Heaven, presumably, will eventually hold the whole Salmon family. But for now, Susie is quite content to hang out with her grandfather.
