“After that I held each of your hugs a second longer, even when I would have rather been doing something else, because someday you’d be gone and I would wish I could go back to those moments. But now you are gone, and your absence hurts too much for me to think about those hugs, those games, those afternoons watering your plants. It’s been five years, and time hasn’t healed any wounds. You are all I think about some days, and yet I can’t bear to rememebr the way things used to be.” 
this quote is my favorite from the book, speaking to me because of how i understand it completely. death of a family member is something i have gone through and as a teenager it was rough. though this book is more than about the death of nadir’s mother, it was a main concern of mine when reading.
