“It would be easy to say that the pants changed everything that summer, but looking back now, I feel like our lives changed because they had to and that the real magic of the pants was in bearing witness to all of this. And in somehow holding us together when we felt like nothing would ever be the same again. Some things never would be. But we knew now that no matter how far we traveled on our own separate path, somehow we would always find our way back to each other and with that we could get through anything. To us - who we were and who we are and who we will be. To the pants, and the sisterhood and this moment and the rest of our lives. Together and apart”
