“You don’t have to be sad to miss someone and wish they were still in your life.”

“Miss someone until they come back, or until you come back, until their absence in your life becomes something to be avoided at all costs. Miss them until you don’t have to anymore, until you’re reunited in your favorite booth in your favorite restaurant ordering your favorite meal, miss them until it feels like you never left. Or miss them until you can’t anymore, until the things you miss are identified and cataloged as things and not a person, until you figure out that easy company and long talks and unblinking, all-knowing eye contact will find you again the way they found you the first time. Miss someone until you don’t.”

“Please don't miss me too much. Please don't be too sad. Find someone else to love, because you have much love to give and it's a gift that shouldn't be wasted. You , Jesse, were the rose that made my life sweet.I will wait for you in heaven.”

“You ever have that feeling? Like you’ve known someone your whole life but you don’t know them at all.”

“Just because you miss someone, doesn’t mean you need them back in your life. Missing is just a part of moving on.”

“The sadness you feel is not your own. It's his sadness you feel in your heart, Amy, for missing you.”
