This Strange Eventful History Quotes

“He, who had wandered all his life unseen, so little known, so often feeling alone and unloved - I wanted him, his departing spirit, to know that we were with him, that we accompanied him, filled with love, to the gate. There is not more, as humans, that we can do.”

“She knew loss too well, knew that your dear ones never left, that they stayed with you, spoke to you, attempted to console you, but that these ghosts had no arms to hold you, that no one else could hear their jokes. That their love was not enough. And that as more and more of these familiars passed away, the world around you became less and less interesting, less and less real.”
