We all had lots of stories of our sad experiences - they mourned the death of my wife with me - but we were hopeful that the children would return.

I just can't think how I would go on without children having lost Edith already... It's too upsetting for me to write about them. Naturally, I still hope, and wait, wait, wait.

There are no walls, no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind.

For me, it was a revelation. There, was revealed a completely different Anne to the child that I had lost. I had no idea of the depths of her thoughts and feelings.
