“I took time to examine the garments more carefully. Not only could they help clothe me for the summer, but they might also provide insights into the history of Whistling Tor. The library held the ink and parchment records set down by men. But that was only half the story. Women talked to their daughters and granddaughters, weaving memories. If no living women remained, one might still learn something from what they had left behind: a garden planted in a certain pattern, a precious possession set away with careful hands, a gravestone for a beloved pet. And clothing. I did not know who had owned these gowns, these delicate undergarments, but perhaps they had something to tell me.”

“«¿Recuerdas aquella película de cuando éramos pequeñas? —empiezo—. Se titulaba La gran evasión. La vimos con papá al menos siete u ocho veces. Iba de unos aviadores americanos reclusos en un campo de prisioneros de la Alemania nazi. Conseguían excavar un túnel larguísimo que atravesaba todo el recinto del campo. Pero la noche de la evasión, cuando salían del túnel, se percataban de que les quedaban seis metros para llegar al bosque. ¡Habían errado en los cálculos seis metros! Luego no tenían más remedio que jugarse la vida recorriendo esa distancia expuestos a la mirada de los guardias. ¿Te acuerdas?». «No», suelta con indiferencia. «No importa. Lo que quería decir es que estar con una mujer es como sacar la cabeza al exterior y descubrir que de verdad has excavado esos seis metros que quedaban».”

“When I asked to get closer to God, I got closer to the woman. I said, “God I don’t want any amount of success if it doesn’t get me closer to you.” When I changed the way that I walked and talked, many people abandoned me; but right there was the woman. She supported every step of my growth. When I asked to get closer to God, I got closer to you. It was you that challenged me to be a great man. It was you that taught me how to love. It was you that gave me a story. It was you that helped me find my purpose. Though we have been through ups-and-downs, no amount of pain could make me ever stop loving you. As a writer, I’ve had people misunderstand my bad description of a woman. Yes, a woman isn’t singular. She is all that I described. What many fail to realize is that when you can love someone beyond the bad times, that shows a deeper level of love. I love you to that level. I hope that I gave you a million smiles for every one time that I made you frown. Thank you, for loving me. Thank you, for trusting me. Thank you, for believing in me. Thank you, for having faith in me. Thank you, for forgiving me. Thank you, for teaching me. Thank you, for supporting me. When I was younger, I didn’t understand why I’ve been surrounded by women my whole life. Now, as a man, I see where that experience helped me with success in relationships. The pillow of love from the women in my life made life easy.”
