This is better than The Notebook

"It used to be the family all looking out for one another, but it's not like that anymore... It used to be your neighbors kept an eye on you, but people like to keep themselves to themselves now. It used to be that you belonged to a community, but really, is there such a thing anymore? Now it's more like every man for himself."

"When you don't see someone regularly you imagine them carrying on with their lives as they'd always done from one year to the next, but the truth was things changed. People grew old and got sick, they sold up and moved on; they weren't frozen in time waiting for the day you knocked on their door looking for them."
