“That’s great. You have family.” Livia rubbed Blake’s arm.“You’re my family,” Blake said coldly.”

“Love for children is the enormous untapped power that can wake us up to the profound changes we need to make if we’re to have a future worth living.”

“It's amazing how we wake up every day and just take for granted that life will go on. We know the reality that it will end at some point, yet we still wake up every morning believing deeply, that we will live forever.”

“I’m so happy to see you. I love you so much. Thank you for waking up,” Livia spoke quickly but calmly, trying to capture Blake’s attention.”
