Favorite Quotes -
"If I can see your face, he signed, I'll be happy."

What can I do to stop your hurt?
Nothing more, she signed. You do everything, and you make me all right. Thank you.
Very gently, he touched her sooty cheek. If there was a way, he signed, I'd take your hurt and carry it for you.

I don't want to stay here without you, he signed. I can't be without you. You are me. We are the same, in our hearts. He stopped, searching for words, frustrated and near tears. He went on: I feel...feelings too big, I have no words. If you go away from me, I will lie down and sleep, and not wake up again.

I have you, and you have me, he signed. A house is only stones and grass. We have all the stones, all the grass, the sea, and the sky. All the far fields, they are ours...We have everything we want for our journey, and we are together all times...

Recommendation - This was a totally excellent book. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It was a great ending, and you aren't left hanging or wishing that it had worked out any other way. I could read this over and over again.
