I love this book! Here are just a few passages from the book that I especially like:

"The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come...Your soul and mine must always come together. And then, for a reason neither of us understands, we've been forced to say goodbye. I would love to tell you that everything will work out for us, and I promise to do all I can to make sure it does. But if we never meet again and this is truly goodbye, I know we will see each other again in another life. We will find each other again, and maybe the stars will have changed, and we will not only love each other in that time, but for all the times we've had before." (pp 121-122)

"It is a barren disease, as emply and lifeless as a desert. It is a thief of hearts and souls and memories." (p 167)

"We had a wonderful life together, and I think about it a lot now...You have taught me...and inspired me...You will never know how much it has meant to me...Though there have been times when I was frazzled...you were always there with kind words, encouraging me...

You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together. You have something inside you...something beautiful and strong. Kindness, that's what I see when I look at you now, that's what everyone sees. Kindness. You are the most forgiving and peaceful man I know. God is with you, He must be, for you are the closest thing to an angel that I've ever met...

We have lived a lifetime most couples never know, and yet, when I look at you, I am frightened by the knowledge that all this will be ending soon. For we both know my prognosis and what it will mean to us. I see your tears and I worry about you than I do about me, because I fear the pain I know you will go through. There are no words to express my sorrow for this, I am at a loss for words.

So I love you deeply, so incredibly much, that I will find a way to come back to you despite my disease, I promise you that...When I am lost and lonely, read this story...and know that in some way, I will realize it's about us. And perhaps, jsut perhaps, we will find a way to be together again.

Please don't be angry with me on days I do not remember you, and we both know they will come. Know that I love you, that I always will, and that no matter what happens, know I have led the greates life possible. My life with you...

Wherever you are and whenever this is, I love you. I love you now as I write this, and I love you now as you read this. And I am so sorry if I am not able to tell you. I love you deeply. You are, and always have been, my dream." (pp 204-207)

"When I think about us, I think about a promise of something nice in the future. You told me that I gave you hope. A hope of getting better because now you have a reason to get better. But you know what? You have given me hope too. A hope that I can still have that happiness that I have always been searching for.
I know what we have is far from perfect. We still have a lot of things to think about. Responsibilities and answers that we owe the people around us. I don't know, but when I think about us, I just feel so happy. It's ironic but I feel something so perfect for something that is far from being one. Does that make sense to you?
You tell me that I'm helping you? That I put color in your life and made it yellow? You brought color into my life too. I wake up everyday excited that it will be another day spent with you. You make me feel contented. Now I feel that I have all that I've ever wished for. That I'm living my dream."

I just finished a book that is in our reading list. James Patterson's "Sam's Letters to Jennifer". And what was written at the back of it is true. Though very simple, it's two of the most amazing love stories ever. It made me think about my own. I know i know, I'm gonna compare my life again to a novel. Many would think it's silly and they would tell me to snap out of it and that I'm reading too many of those but I can't help it. I feel like I see bits of my life in these books I read. I know though that real life is so much more complicated and the happy endings don't come easily.
I see myself in both Sam's and Jennifer's life. Sam's in a way that she has found a love when she was still in a relationship she can't escape from. And Jennifer's in a way that she has found this perfect love but was at first racing against time. She thought it wasn't going to last coz the one she has madly fallen in love is dying. So they were just making the most of the time that they have left together. But then her guy realized that Jennifer is worth fighting for and so he agreed to undergo this experimental procedure that would give him a chance to live.
I am also pressed for time. I have something really special now with someone. It feels so perfect that when I think about it, I don't think I have really felt like this for anyone before. It's funny though coz we have never really been together. But it feels like we know each other so much. We enjoy doing the same things. We have the same interests. It is just so perfect. I wonder why we have never met before. But he is not really well. Somebody is trying to rid him of his memories. I am just scared that he will forget me even before we have the chance to be together. Even before we will really feel how it's like to be able to hold each other. But like Jennifer's Brendan, he is strong. He has something now that he didn't have before. He now has hope. And he is going to fight this memory stealer. He won't let him take away what we have just like that. It's too precious. He's going to get better and he's going to come home.
Now all we need to do is stay strong. It's not going to be easy. Even now, there are those who are making things difficult. People, who instead of just wishing other people happiness, wish to tear you apart. And I know there will be more. But if we just stay together, if we will just be there for each other, everything is going to be ok. We made a promise. All we need to do is remember that promise and hold on to it.
