They Say It's a River Quotes

“Everyone talks about the grief of losing someone you love, but they don’t talk about the grief of losing everything familiar. It’s not just the person; it’s the life you shared, the little things that connected you to them. The mug my mom used for coffee, the pictures of her and us on the walls, the spot where Pacha tore the rug that she mended. It’s been seven years since she did that. The dog died two years ago and now mom has passed, but that line in the rug is still as clear in my sight as the day she sewed it.”

“If I’m being given a blank page, I want to make sure that I am the one writing on it. Not some paint by numbers crap where the picture’s already set. That’s what Caroline wants to do. She wants to fit me into her picture. What if, that’s not what I want. If I am going to write the story of me, it’s going to be true to my heart.”
