The Light Between Oceans

Mouse,

I saw the movie The Light Between Oceans today after finishing the book a few weeks ago. These quotes are fresh in my mind:

"If a wife loses a husband she becomes a widow, but if a parent loses a child there's no special label for it. You're still a mother or father. Even if you no longer have a child."

“To have any kind of a future you’ve got to give up hope of ever changing your past”
― M. L. Stedman - The Light Between Oceans

“To make sense of it - that's the challenge. To bear witness to the death, without being broken by the weight of it.”
― M. L. Stedman - The Light Between Oceans

“Your family’s never in your past. You carry it around with you everywhere.”
― M. L. Stedman - The Light Between Oceans


Some of us spend our days trying to figure out life in between living it, my angel. I think I will be always looking for answers...

Although I think no answer will ever be good enough.

I love & miss you.
