“In the middle of the night, the hope seeps out of me.  For three hours, I’ve tried to attach Luke to my forward memories.  But I have to admit that he is nowhere to be found.  He’s not in my memory, which means he’s not in my future.  When I finally accept it, the truth stings.  But there’s no time to dwell on it, and there are only two choices: I can remind myself about someone who is not a part of my life, or I can leave him out of my notes to save myself from going through this all over again tomorrow.  It doesn’t seem much of a choice at all.  I grit my teeth and grip the pen and do what I have to do.  I lie to myself.”
