We have talked about Suzy and about her last days, but it's as if our lives stopped then and there. If I say anything to him about feeling lonesome, he goes outside and does some little chore. I can't tell if he is secretly blaming me, or himself, or just too full of pain to talk. That was the one thing we could always do together. I wish for the old days. I wish for the struggling days and the days of Geronimo, and the days of birthing Charlie with no one but Jack to help me. How happy and in love we were then. I want to be in love again, but all I feel is darkness and shadows. Everything is changed and different .Nancy E. Turner
About This Quote
This quote speaks about the way life is. People are constantly changing and being born into different circumstances. The past is gone, but even though life has changed, love still remains the same. The quote alludes to the love between Jack and Suzy growing apart, which is reflected in the idea that Jack "can't tell if he is secretly blaming" Suzy or himself.
Jack can't understand why their relationship has changed, but he also can't bring himself to talk to Suzy about it. Jack's feelings of love are echoing throughout this passage, as he wishes for the days he used to have with his wife. However, Jack can't deny his current situation because "everything is different."
