"but all your 'sorrys' are gone when a person dies. she was gone. gone. thats why you have to say all your 'sorrys' and 'i love yous' while a person is living because tomorrow isnt promised" pg 217.
i thought this quote was berry very important through out the book, because i felt like Ruth had a lot to say but she was just so quite about everything.
for example:
- she probably didn't want to show any weakness,
- she tried pushing her kids away (to college and what not) because she wanted them to know that even though that she wants them to do good , she loves them a lot
- with her own mom, and her family and they were never effectuated, even though she probably did want to hug her mom once in a while or wanted to tell her mom that she was going to be okayand maybe that's why in the end she wrote the latter to James, that talked about her story, because in the end she was going to die and she did want to say her i love yous :D
I like this quote too! Everything you tell someone is going to eventually be forgotten once they pass away. You'll never forget it, but they will.
