Quote #4
Gamma rays, leukemia, parenthood. It is the things you cannot see coming that are strong enough to kill you. (3.4.27)
Add car accidents to this list, because this is what claims Anna in the end. Sara is talking about the unpredictability of illness and death… and that's pretty much how the book ends, too.
Quote #5
"You know, normal people don't sit around thinking about dying."
"Liar. Everyone thinks about dying."(3.7.61-3.7.62)
How many books have you read that have to deal with death? You wouldn't be able to read them all in your lifetime. Yes, we're talking about death right now. Death death death. Yeah, everyone thinks about it, some people just try to deny it.
Quote #6
"Is this… a eulogy?"
By now, Brian is crying, too. "If I don't do it now, I won't be able to when it's really time." (6.4.52-6.4.53)
Brian is preparing for his daughter's death like some dads would prepare for college or a new car. Unfortunately, death will likely come for Kate before either of those other milestones.
