"My father was dead, my mother was dead, I would need for a while to watch for mines, but I would still get up in the morning and send out the laundry. I would still plan a menu for Easter lunch.

"Sometimes the things that are felt the most are expressed between two souls over the distance and over time...where no words abide. And others may speak freely, live with one another freely, express themselves freely" just like everyone else, but then there is you... you have no words for proof of reassurance, no tokens of professed love, but you have something.

And I suspect we are already there."
