“Humans. For the most part, you are dull and blundering. But occasionally, you can be remarkably bright creatures.”

“Another revelation: how much laughter is a part of grief. Laughter is tightly braided into our family argot, and now we laugh remembering my father, but somewhere in the background there is a haze of disbelief. The laughter trails off. The laughter becomes tears and becomes sadness and becomes rage. I am unprepared for my wretched, roaring rage. In the face of this inferno that is sorrow, I am callow and unformed.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

“The past looms large, and losses leave great voids in the heart. It’s nice to be reminded of those we’ve loved in small, spirited ways that don’t overwhelm us.”
― John Stamos, If You Would Have Told Me
