Leukemia can come back, the doctors warned. You live with that. Addie helped me deal with the uncertainty. "We're going to get as much as we can with the time we've been given. We're going to be grateful for whatever time that is." (174)
Addie's sentiments are yet another example of how the characters in this novel choose to focus on the positive rather than the negative, even when it comes to mortality.
