Art After 5, Ch. 45

Esme is so much wiser than many of us. I never realized it until I read it, but I am guilty of "enshrining". It is hard not to. You have lost the tangibility of the person, so you cling to the things that remind you of them, hoping it somehow keeps their physical presence with you.

I am so happy they had that talk, and that Esme considers Bella a part of her life, no matter how things shake out between her and Edward.
