“And I have no control over which yesterdays I keep and which ones get deleted. This disease will not be bargained withMy yesterdays are disappearing, and my tomorrows are uncertain, so what do I live for? I live for each day. I live in the moment.

I will forget today, but that doesn't mean that today doesn't matter.” MeanMatterMomentsTodayForgetTomorrowSpeechDiseaseDisappearYesterdayEach DayUncertainLive In The MomentForget ItEvery Second Author:Lisa Genova
