“Not a day would go by that I wouldn't think of how he fit into my life. I liked that he had become an integral part of my forever. I closed my eyes and took stock of every limb. Each fingertip. Each toe. The cold bite of winter made me feel alive. And I would spend the rest of my life making sure I never forgot that.”
― Katie Karambelas, Before We Break

“It was like growing out of your favorite sweater. It fits you perfectly at first, but then you wash it a million times, and it shrinks. And then you grow, too, and suddenly it isn't so perfect anymore. It's at the back of the dresser drawer, completely forgotten until it was time for a yard sale and someone would buy your sweater and wear it as their own.

We were two forgotten sweaters destined for new people.”
― Katie Karambelas, Before We Break
