Amelia: Life is hard. There's no way to predict what's going to happen. Someone could back out of their driveway tomorrow and mow me down, and I would be dead before you. Right now is all anybody has. Right this minute. And yes, this diagnosis is unspeakably cruel and living with it will be a daily struggle, but as long as the good days outnumber the bad - You gotta live those days. Why would you give up rocky road ice cream before you have to...or swimming in the ocean or driving? God, driving with the top down on a sunny day? That has got to be worth living for.
Michelle: It is. Right now when you say it, it is. But when you're not here cheering me on how am I going to make it through this?
Amelia: First off, I am your friend and I will be here cheering you on until you take your last breath.
