“I want your babies, and your anger, and your cold blue eyes … “ I choke on my words and I am the
one to look away. I bring my gaze back to her face and realize that if I can’t convince her now, I’m
never going to be able to. “I want to go on anniversary dinners with you, I want to wrap Christmas
presents with you. I want to fight with you about stupid things and then hold you down in my bed and
make it up to you. I want to have more cake batter fights and camping trips. I want your future, Olivia.
Please come back to me.”

“If you haven't already, you will lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and you never completely get over the loss of a deeply beloved person. But this is also good news. The person lives forever, in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. And you come through, and you learn to dance with the banged-up heart.”

“I felt changed and a little crazy. But though I was still like a stained and slightly buckled jigsaw puzzle with some pieces missing, now there were at least a few border pieces in place.”

“Gratitude begins in our hearts and then dovetails into behavior. It almost always makes you willing to be of service, which is where the joy resides. It means that you are willing to stop being such a jerk. When you are aware of all that has been given to you, in your lifetime and the past few days, it is hard not to be humbled, and pleased to give back.”
