L.M. Montgomery, best known for writing “Anne of Green Gables,” penned these words in her 1913 novel, “The Golden Road,” a sequel to 1911’s “The Story Girl.” Both novels center on a close-knit group of young cousins and their friends living in a rural community on Canada’s Prince Edward Island. This quote serves as a poignant reminder of the power of memory to preserve the people and experiences that have touched our lives. As long as we hold them in our memories, they will continue to be available to us, ever present in our hearts and minds and a comfort in times of grief and longing.
