“Little Bird, our love has been hard-earned from the very beginning. It is more precious to me than anything on earth. I can't just let go of it. And I won't stop fighting for it." ~ Ian”

“I still love you, too, Ian. It just doesn't mean anything anymore.”

“My hope is that what has gone before is only the introductory chapter of our love story. There are more memories to be made. ~ Ian”

“You are in me. In the deepest part of me. Deeper than my memories, my unconscious thoughts. Deeper than my ever-changing emotions. You are in the place right next to where I keep my faith in God (a faith that I won't let go of now, in spite of it being shaken many times, from without and within). You're deep in me.”

“I just want you to know...that if you didn't get me a single present...the way you love me would be more than enough.”

“Ian Sterling has ruined me. And he's ruined me for anyone else.”

“My life didn't begin until you breathed into it. ~ Ian”
