“I’ll never forget the sight of it. It’s in front of me when I sit down to my oatmeal in the morning and when I take off my boots at night. It’s lurking beneath my eyelids when I try to sleep at night. I’ve had to accept it as an unwelcome, but hovering, companion.”

“I just can’t stop thinking about it. And that’s okay, because when I do, I’m gliding high, it’s like my feet are made of cotton and I’m walking on marshmallows.”
