Promise Me This (Wilder Family, #3)

by Karla Sorensen

Distractions didn’t actually help you forget that you’d lost someone. No matter how big or loud they were, nothing was bigger or louder than the gaping hole left in your life. Not at first, at least.

Insight, more than we realized, was one of the greatest gifts in being able to let go of your past. We could study it and pick it apart, but until we got some of those missing pieces, almost an element of our own story could haunt us.

“I came because you’re always the person I want to be around when life feels unsteady.”

Age didn’t make any part of loss easier. It just made you that much more aware of what you were really losing.

The biggest changes in our life always come with a little fear and a lot of honesty.”
