laughter heart optimism
In the eulogy by the graveside, I told everyone how my sister and I used to sing to each other on our birthday. I told them that, when I thought of my sister, I could still hear her laughter, sense her optimism, and feel her faith. I told them that my sister was the kindest person I;ve ever known, and that the world was a sadder place without her in it. And finally, I told them to remember my sister with a smile, like I did, for even though she was being buried near my parents, the best parts of her would always stay alive, deep within our hearts.

All I know is that I fell in love with you, and I've never been more frightened about anything in my entire life.

commitment thinking two
Commitment, I finally said. Both people have to be committed. I think if two people are committed to the marriage, if they really want to make it work, then they'll find a way to do it. No matter what happens in life.
real fighting missing
Spending time with you showed me what I’ve been missing in my life. The more time we spent together, the more I could imagine it lasting in the future. That’s never happened to me before, and I’m not sure it’ll ever happen again. I’ve never been in love with anyone before you came along — not real love anyway…not like this. And I’d be a fool if I let you slip away without a fight
summer firsts carefree
Or maybe watching you enjoy a carefree summer while you fell in love was what kept me out of the hospital in the first place.
distance people lasts
I know we loved each other, but distance can do strange things to people and before I was willing to tell you about it, I wanted to be certain that it would last
voice important comfort
I realized that there were times when we talked not because we needed to communicate anything important, but simply because we each drew comfort from the other's voice

safe-haven domestic-violence too-late
It’s never too late to do the right thing.
defined
Maybe I’d like to be defined by what I am.
memories heart alzheimers
Alzheimer's ... it is a barren disease, as empty and lifeless as a desert. It is a thief of hearts and souls and memories.
