“If you’re in bed next to me, I will take your hand. If you are not, I will go find you. I will spend the rest of my life, if I get that lucky, seeking you out. Not because I promised you or because you’re there. But because I will want to. I will want to be beside you. Every day. Forever.” “You will?” Vanessa tucked a strand of Joan’s hair behind her ear. “Every morning, I wake up and I think, ‘God, yes, her.’ ” Joan smiled and dried her tears. “If that can be enough for you,” Vanessa said, “it’s yours until the day I die.”

“Listen to me,” Joan said. “I was circling two hundred miles above the Earth, and all I wanted was to get home and see you. Do you understand that?

“What a gift to have known Vanessa, and to have loved her...In a moment of brilliant clarity - a clarity Joan knows she will lose her grasp on within seconds, and have to fight like hell for years to come back to - Joan understands that God gave her something spectacular.

Look at what no one will be able to take away.”
