“When I turned forty, I started reflecting on my future, and then I was walloped when one of my friends from high school passed away. ... It took me a while to process, but it was a wake-up call. I realized that I needed to find a new path and plan and appreciate the limited time we have in life.”

“Nachts träumte ich, dass er verprügelt und über Casino-Parkplätze gejagt wurde, und mehr als einmal schreckte ich hoch und sah ihn auf dem Stuhl neben meinem Bett sitzen und mich stumm beobachten, nur die Glut seiner Zigarette glühte im Dunkeln. Aber sie haben gesagt, dass du gestorben bist, sagte ich laut, bevor ich begriff, dass er nicht da war.”

“Aber selbst im Tod war mein Dad nicht auszuradieren, sosehr ich versucht hatte, ihn aus dem Bild zu wünschen - denn er war immer da, in meinen Händen, meiner Stimme und meinem Gang, meinem verstohlenen Seitenblick, wenn ich mit Hobie ein Restaurant verließ und meine ganze Kopfhaltung an seine alte eitle Angewohnheit erinnerte, sich in jeder spiegelnden Oberfläche prüfend zu mustern.”

“He closed his eyes again, and for a moment had the illusion of holding the world in his arms - a warm world all tropics, lashed by storm. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no," he said. It was all he had the strength to say. But even if he had been able to say more, still he would have said only: "No, no, no no." It was not a whole life whose loss she was mourning there in his arms, but it was a great part of one; above all it was a part whose limits she knew precisely, and her knowledge augmented the bitterness. And presently within her, deeper than the weeping for the wasted years, she found a ghastly dread all formed and growing.”

I understand now that something broke in me after my parents died that somehow healed wrong, and I started measuring how much I loved people in terms of how much it would hurt to lose them.”
