Parallels of my children trying to hold on to happiness

“She stood at Webb’s door: Tate, with the wild hair and the grin that went on forever. Sometimes Webb believed that he would never experience a better feeling than when he was looking at her, would never see anything or anybody bursting with more life and spirit. Sometimes he felt he needed to inhale it and place it in a storage area in his soul. Just in case.” -On the Jellicoe Road

“It’s because they don’t have coverage out here,” Griggs tells him.
“No,” I say, looking up at Griggs. “It’s actually because my heart belongs to someone else.” And if I could bottle the look on his face, I’d keep it by my bedside for the rest of my life.” - On the Jellicoe Road

“It’s a weird smile, but it reaches his eyes and I bottle it. And I put it in my ammo pack that’s kept right next to my soul and Justine’s spirit and Siobhan’s hope and Tara’s passions. Because if I’m going to wake up one morning and not be able to get out of bed, I’m going to need everything I’ve got to fight this disease that could be sleeping inside of me.” -Saving Francesca

ya lit meme: 5 quotes/lyrics you associate with characters (3/5) tate markham / on the jellicoe road / melina marchetta

she's off again through summers past / the smell of rain and freshly cut grass / seems those ordinary days are the ones that last / cos he was there, the one you loved / the one you never could let go of / and there's something you know as you're looking up // that your only half here / like someone left a frail body and stole the rest / but I remember when you were strong / never wanted help from no-one / what you've become is not who I remember

cooling of the embers / missy higgins
