approaching the end of the book time traveler's wife.
niffenegger probably didn't hv this in mind when she wrote it but as i read it, it feels a bit of deja vu.
every girl has her henry.
he travels into her mind and life at different ages in different shapes, he leaves hints about the future but wouldn't tell her.
when she's very young, it's all good, each visit from him is an event, an addition.
she has all the imagination and expectation to her and believes from what she was told that he will come again and eventually settle with her.
as she grows, she becomes a little impatient, she begins to want more.
later, when she has him, each moment of his absence becomes a subtraction, as if something is robbed away from her.
she starts to wait anxiously. and doubts. 
is he really the one? what if not? has she missed him somehow? is he coming back? if so, when?
when they are finally together, they share happiness, but also problems (if not more).
