"But all people at root are time optimists. We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'."

if the first 10 minutes of “up” was a book, this is the only book I know that has succeeded at being both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
