My friend the accidental bookseller said When asked to name the one person absent from her life that she missed the most, she responded, "The person I hoped I'd be by this point in my life."

Surely, I think, the beauty of it is that we could not possibly have imagined how unexpected, complicated, difficult and wonderful life could be, and the complexity and richness of who we would become.

And who we are yet to become.
