Quote by Fredrik Backman

“She laughed at that, Jim's wife and Jack's mom, God, how she laughed. God, how they miss her. She's still the one who makes them more understanding toward each other, even though she's no longer here.”

And he did all these things because he wanted to. So think about the happy times and when you start to cry anyway it's because you should. Charlie earned it.”

“She had once read in a book about consciousness that over the years, the human brain makes an AI version of your loved ones. The brain collects data, and within your brain, you host a virtual version of that person. Upon the person's death, your brain still believes the virtual person exists, because, in a sense, the person still does. After a while, though, the memory fades, and each year, you are left with an increasingly diminished version of the AI you had made when the person was alive.”
