1 " She can't help. No one can. I rest my head in my hands and let the flood of hot angry tears fall. I can't even begin to wrap my head around the enormity of it all. She lied to me, probably lied to my dad too. The hole in my heart doubles in size like I'm losing him all over again.....Although it seems he was never mine to lose. "

7 " I don't bother answering - she always says the most obvious things that don't need to be said. It's like she's just talking to fill space. Dad's more like me; he knows that sometimes there's no need to ruin the quiet with words. "
8 " I feel like I don't want to take a single second for granted, I want to make the most of the time I have left. ...It's like I want to live as many moments as I can, like I'm filling my heart and my mind with all the memories I can get, so I can take them with me. "
9 " All those years ago, you told me to stay, to stop running away. You said life is going to be tough no matter where I went, and that some things were worth sticking around for. And that's you, You're worth sticking around for, and I want to spend the rest of the time we have together as your wife. "
10 " I used to think you didn't want to marry me so it would be easier to leave if you needed to run. "
11 " Life is too damn short to stay mad at the people you love. "
