I can see us there still, " he said, "for those were moments so intense that in a way we will be living them always, while other things are completely forgotten. Yet there is no particular story attached to them, ” he said, “despite their place in the story I have just told you. That time spent swimming in the pool beneath the waterfall belongs nowhere: it is part of no sequence of events, it is only itself, in a way that nothing our life before as a family was ever itself, because it was always leading to the next thing and the next, was always contributing to our story of who we were.

About This Quote

With this, he's speaking about the wonderful moments they had; the memories that last forever. He says that those moments are completely forgotten, but they were there all along, and that they live on in their own. They will always be there, because they were so amazing. Those moments were so much more than just something to remember for when they got older, because these moments will never be forgotten. These are the moments that got them through tough times in their lives, and when they think about it years later, these moments will still be there, always remembered.
