“She missed -- without knowing what she missed-- paints and crayons”
“Most people miss so much of what they are, but the tragedy is they miss it without knowing that they missed it.”
“Do you know what I miss most about Rosemary? Simply knowing she was there.”
“Miss Leefolt sigh, hang up the phone like she just don't know how her brain gone operate without Miss Hilly coming over to push the Think buttons.”
“She had missed him so long now, that the feeling had become a part of her. As each day passed, the missing distanced itself from her heart. One day she woke, and realized the missing was there but the pain was gone. Missing without pain is tolerable. Pain linked to heartache is intolerable.”
“She was his country; she was what he would miss until they were back together.”
