Kindle Notes & Highlights
I didn’t know it then—I couldn’t have—but in that moment, the rest of my life, or what was left of it, began.
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
“Not yet. Not tonight. We might not have months or years, but we have moments. Thousands upon thousands of them. Let’s take each moment, seize it and wring it dry. Okay?”
I would love you forever, Kacey, if I only had the chance.
My Jonah, I thought. He’s mine now, and I’m his.
“His eyes light up and his voice changes when he says your name. His smile when you walk into a room is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.”
“And even more beautiful than that, Kacey? Your eyes light up when my son is near. Your voice changes when you say his name. And the smile you wear when you’re looking at him and think no one is watching… Those are gifts I’ll never be able to thank you for. To know my Jonah is loved. He’ll leave this world loved, won’t he?”
“He’s loved and he’ll be loved forever.”
“Because loving her is the best thing I’ve ever done.”
Instead, I kissed him like a lover—deep and long, and with everything I had. With every ounce of infinite love that dwelt in me. I kissed Jonah Fletcher with all of my heart, and with every piece of my soul that would love him forever.
“I love you,” I said. “You’re the best thing to ever happen to me. I wouldn’t give back one second of our time together. Not one.”
“Being loved by you, Jonah…it’s the greatest honor of my life.”
That’s my legacy: I loved you and was loved by you.
