“Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come. ~ Rabindranath Tagore”
― J.T. Geissinger, Pen Pal

“Someone was about to die. I prayed it wasn’t me.”
― Geneva Lee, Second Rite

“When I say I love you, I mean that I was born for you. I exist for you. You are the air I breathe. You are the blood in my veins. You are part of me, my love.”
― Geneva Lee, Three Queens

“But the months had given me just enough time that every second didn’t belong to my grief. And I knew that time span would only grow. It would never leave entirely, but at least I wasn’t capsizing on that ocean of grief with every heartbeat anymore. The waves still came in. Sometimes they were predictable, like the tide. Other times they hit me with the force of a tsunami, sending me tumbling so deep that I felt like I was at day one again, instead of day 105.”
― Rebecca Yarros, The Last Letter
