Quote context

[...]

- Don't cry, Jo. I don't want you to cry for me.

- I'm not crying for you, darling. I'm just lonesome for Amy and Meg and our old happy times. I'll be all right.

- It's no use. I know what the doctor must have said. Please don't tell Marmee or Father, but I know.

- Jo, you mustn't be afraid. Doesn't it sound funny, me saying that to you, when you've always said it to me?

- You've always reminded me of a sea gull. Strong and wild, fond of the wind and storm, and dreaming of flying out to sea.

- And Marmee said I was the cricket on the hearth, content to stay at home.

- I can't express it very well. I guess I shouldn't even try, except to my Jo.

- But it seems that I was never intended to live very long. I never planned what I would do when I grew up like the rest of you did, because I could never bear the thought of leaving home.

- But I'm not afraid any more, Jo. I've learned that I won't lose you, that nothing can really part us, though it seems to. And that we'll always be a family, even though one of us is gone.

- But, Jo, I think I will be homesick for you, even in Heaven.
