"He stops, clears his throat, takes a breath, and continues. 'So I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It's okay if you have to leave us. It's okay if you want to stop fighting.' This is the first time today that anybody has acklowledges what I lost. (Gayle Forman, If I Stay, pg.152)"
This quote that I chose is the main character, Mia's grandfather talking to Mia while she is in the hospital. This occurs after Mia crosses the threshold.
On a cold day in February Mia's family went for a drive and they spun out of control and crashed, her dad, her mom, and her little brother were all thrown for the car and instantly killed. Mia was very badly injured, but right after the crash she left her body and through the whole book she watched on in the hospital on her friends and family as they waited her to wake up fomr her coma. I believe that was the event when she crossed over into a special world. She likes it at first because she can't feel any pain and she doesnt want to wake up and go back into her ordinary world because she doesnt know how to live on without her mom, dad and brother. Eventually she realizes the grief that her family is feeling, and she wants more than anything to return back to her oridinary world.
