"Memory is a few lines snipped from a larger story that we are privileged to tuck away between the pages of our minds."
"Tell me about your family," I said. And so she did. I listened intently as my mother went through each branch of the tree.

And I was remembering walking through the snow coming back from the ridiculous movie. Do you remember that, K? We were on Giddings, and the snow made it so quiet, I couldn't hear a thing in the world but you. And it was so cold then, and so silent, and I loved you so much. Now it's hot, and dead quiet again, and I love you still."
"I didn't want to forget him. Maybe I didn't want him to forget me."
"Perhaps it was an afterimage, I decided, or a ghost: something that had stirred in my mind, for a moment, so powerfully that I believed it to be real, but now was gone, and faded into the past like a memory forgotten, or a shadow into the dusk."
