“Even in my lowest moments, even in the nadirs of hurt and betrayal, I still believed in our love story, in our happiness as a family. Those stories are preserved in the words we wrote to each other, in the movies James made, in the albums I made, in the life we collected over the years. But they also exist in our kids' minds, in their skin and bones, in their souls. And in mine. James changed our present and our future, but not our past.”
― Belle Burden, Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage

“Everyone loves a particular version of you, and when that person is gone, that version goes with them.”

― Fredrik Backman, My Friends
