Remember Quote by Katja Millay
““I've forgotten almost everything about my mom so I try to make myself think about her more. Otherwise, I'm afraid one day I'll wake up and I won't remember her at all...No one ever asks. Like they think they're doing me a favor. That if I don't bring it up, I won't have to think about it. I never stop thinking about it. Just because I don't talk about it, doesn't mean I forget. I don't talk about it because no one ever asks.””
