Requiem
Quotes from the Book
That's death and life, you see. We all shine on. You just have to release your hearts, alert your senses, and pay attention. A leaf, a star, a song, a laugh. Notice all the little things, because somebody is reaching out to you. Qualcuno ti ama. Somebody loves you.
Trust your heart if the seas catch fire and live by love though the stars walk backwards.
Most of all, I miss that feeling when you go to sleep at night and when you wake up in the morning. It's that feeling that everything is all rightin the world. You know, that amazing feeling that you're whole, that you've got everything you want, that you aren't missing anything. Sometimes when I wake up, I get it for just a moment. It lasts a few seconds, but then I remember what happened, and how nothing has been the same since

A time for giving birth, a time for dying; a time for planting, a time for uprooting what has been planted; a time for tears, a time for laughter; a time for mourning, a time for dancing; a time for searching, a time for losing; a time for loving, a time for hating.
And I was even beginning to think home might be with you
God must have had a reason

...Charlie still smiled at the urn above the cash register with a gold plaque that said: ASHES OF PROBLEM CUSTOMERS.
And live by love though the stars walk backward
These were her rituals, the rutines that made her feel alive and connected. Without them, where would she be? Lost
That's the inescapable math of tragedy and the multiplication of grief
That's the death and life, you see. We all shine on. You just have to release your heart, alert you senses, and pay attention
Notice the little things, because somebody is reaching out to you
