"Things could change," Jonas said, "There could be colors. And grandparents. And everybody would have the memories.""You know the memories," he whispered, turning toward the crib. In his sleep, Gabriel moved slightly, lifting his head from his pillow. "There could be love," Jonas whispered again. "It's not impossible. It's just too hard to see."
