It was like someone had died — like I had died. Because it had been more than just losing the truest of true loves, as if that were not enough to kill anyone. It was also losing a whole future, a whole family — the whole life that I'd chosen... "- Charlie Swan and Bella Swan, New Moon, p.398
"Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you?"

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, Eclipse, p. 34

Writing from the soul.
Writing from the heart.
And so, I hope, in doing so, I begin to heal.
