No one gets left behind, remember?

We all know how to be a child. It's inside all of us. For me, it's just remembering how to enjoy it.

This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for.

It is far more comforting to think God listened and said no, than to think that nobody’s out there.

Secrets tear you apart.

If we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those we love, and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere, our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in the agony of ‘I could have, I should have’. We can sleep in a storm. And when its time, our goodbyes will be complete.

But she wasn’t around, and that’s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.
