"I’m grateful for literature about, and written by, all of us who suffer from chronic illnesses, but I’m so tired of all of the ones I’ve found being about those who got their illnesses later in life and can recall a before.
- I used to be able to do this, but I can’t anymore.
I can’t anymore.

“PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.
GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?

PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.
GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.”
