“People always say not to forget because then history will repeat itself. But maybe history will repeat itself anyway, and forgetting is how we bear it.”
Sarah Damoff, The Bright Years

“There are two kinds of grief at a wake: grieving the loss of what was and grieving the loss of what wasn’t.”
Sarah Damoff, The Bright Years

“She wiggles and squirms and shifts, and fear hums beside me as I begin to understand that keeping a child is like keeping the sky— always with me but never mine.”
Sarah Damoff, The Bright Years
