I cannot also help but remember in this context one of my favorite lines from Whitley’s many books, this one about (or coming from) Anne, now deceased. Whitley describes Anne saying to him, “I’m not Anne anymore, I’m me. But I’ll always be Anne for you, Whitley.” In more metaphysical terms, she also told Whitley, “I am the part of me that’s part of you.”51 Whitley still wears their wedding ring.
