Barb  Drummond
“In this journey, it wasn’t her forgetting that broke me. It was the glimpses of her remembering.”
― Barb Drummond, I Finally Have the Smoking Hot Body I Have Always Wanted...: Having Been Cremated

Morgan Talty
“I wasn't sure Louise knew who I was anymore, but I was quite certain I was nobody. And as I sat there I felt myself slipping away to damp depths of sadness as I had done the night before, and I was thinking and thinking and thinking about how, in just the past year, I had just started to know her, but then I began to unknow her, getting farther and farther away like watching a boat drift from the shore and head out not to some other land but to an open water that never, ever ends. And she did not even know this, that she was on the boat.”
― Morgan Talty
