just enough. nothing more.

Emily was very well read and just loved books, even at the ripe old age of twelve. She began pouring through book series at the age of seven, and that pace increased every year, until her bedroom looked more like a library than a place to sleep and Chapters / Indigo became her room decorating pallette. 

 

Along the way she encountered words that others had said or written that were signficant to her.

 

By the end of her life, these quotes filled the coveted space above her bed in a giant heart shape and along her desk; a constant reminder of what was important to her.
