“We're all being tested...That's what life is.”

“You need to understand something Cal-in this world, we're not humans having a divine experience. We're divine beings having a human experience.”

“Do you not see that? That's what being family is - that's the best part - it's not tit for tat or who owes more, it's simply - when one hurts, so does the other; when one finds good, you share in that, too. That's family.”

“There's the life you live and the life you leave behind. but what you share with someone else - especially someone you love - that's not just how you bury your past. It's how you write you future.”

“there's nothing more intimate in life than simply being understood. And understanding someone else.”

“So much harm comes into this world when the wrong thing is said. But that's nothing compared to the pain from what goes unsaid.”

“We all hate something from our past, Cal. That's why we run from it, or compensate for it, or even fill our van with homeless people. But when something like this happens-when your dad shows up-maybe there is a bigger purpose. 'What you intended for evil, God intended for good.' Genesis 50:20”
