I wondered if he was looking up at that same moon, far away, and thinking of me as I was thinking of him.“ ”‘I can scarcely bear to think of him ,’ I wrote, ‘and yet I cannot bear to think of anything else. For the time being all people, all ideas, all interests have set, and sunk below the horizon of my mind; he alone I can contemplate, whom of all things in heaven and earth it hurts to think about most.’“ Perhaps… Perhaps some day the sun will shine again, And I shall see that still the skies are blue, And feel one more I do not live in vain, Although bereft of you.
Rest in peace, Stan Lee (December 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018)

I’ve never spoken of him until now. A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me in every way that a person can be saved. I don’t even have a picture of him. He exists now only in my memory.
