"You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I’m grateful. Our time together was brief, like a shooting star blazing through a dark sky, but it left a mark on my soul, an imprint that will never fade. I mourn the love we could have had, the life we might have shared, but I am also grateful for the moments we did. For even in its ending, even in its heartbreak, our love was a rare and beautiful thing."

— From "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green
