“I thought that love at first sight was something that was only in cheesy movies and romantic novels until that moment.”

“Every second of everyday I still love them, and I won’t believe they are dead until I see it for myself.”

“I would only blame myself if something happened to you.”

“The feeling of death is not as peaceful as they make it sound in movies and books. It was frightening and empty...I never want to feel it again.”

“I thought of all the hardships and people that I had lost in the past few days alone, but, most of all, I thought of how I didn't regret any of it.”

“I saw something I could never forget. I saw lifetimes of acknowledgement, fear, wisdom, questioning, and understanding in a child's eye. It was the worst thing I would ever witness.”

“Until they feel what we feel, they will never fully understand the own hell they caused.”
