The very worst events in life have that effect on a family: we always remember, more sharply than anything else, the last happy moments before everything fell apart.

Fredrik Backman
About This Quote

This quote is an example of the ability to remember the good times. Many experiences can cause people to remember how much they loved something or someone. That’s not only true for us but also for our families. The love that families have for each other is one of the best things about being family.

When things are going well, we tend to remember how happy we are. When things are bad, we remember the moment when something good happened. This quote reminds us that even though things may change, our family should always hold on to their memories of the good times.
