“I sobbed my heart out because there were so many things in there that I hadn’t thought of before. Amazing. Breath-taking. And you have captured, or quoted, or found things I just would not have remembered in my life, you know? I think in some ways I was crying for a life that I’d forgotten. You know, my thoughts, and meanings: you are the keepers of those.”
