About This Quote
I can not begin to imagine how much it would mean to know that my loved ones who have died, people I have never met and will never meet, people who existed only in my mind - that they were real and that I had such an impact on their lives, that they made it through the pain and loneliness and hunger and humour and anger and joy and sorrow and everything else. It would mean so much to know that I saw them.
