“They say that time heals, yet the ache still caught his breath. Grief is often invisible to the outside world—Fred was like still water whose reflection mirrored the sun but concealed dark and murky depths underneath.

“But it will be an even stronger love, strengthened by the daily exercise of choosing each other. Not just a love that loves when things are easy, when you’re feeling happy. No, it will be an unbreakable love that continues loving when things are hard. One that loves through bad times, through loss, in health, and in sickness.”
― Anna Johnston, The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife

“You’ll never regret being kind even when people aren’t kind to you.”
