“وقتی اندوهگین هستیم به نظر می رسد این غم همیشگی باشد. به نظر می رسد پایان شب به صبح وصل نمی شود. به نظر می رسد کسی شبیه ما این غم را تجربه نمی کند. اما یکی از واقعیت های زندگی این است که هیچ چیز باقی نمی ماند. هیچ چیز ابدی نیست؛ نه لبخندهای از ته دل و نه غم های نفس گیر. اجازه ندهیم ذهنمان ما را گیر بیاندازد.”

"I lean against the door, watching my wife exist. Loudly. Messily. Unapologetically. Just the way a woman loved is meant to bloom."
