“My Dad says that we're the meanest to the ones we love because we know they'll still love us.”

“We're not made to say goodbye. God didn't make us that way. We're eternal beings meant to live with him and those we love forever. So when we have to part with a loved one for a while because of death, it hurts.”

“As you know so well, the passage of time never really heals the tragic memory of such a great loss, but we carry on, because we have to, because our loved one would want us to, and because there is still light to guide us in the world from the love they gave us.”

“Dear Hilde, if the human brain was simple enough for us to understand, we would still be so stupid that we couldn't understand it. Love, Dad.”

“If those we love visit us when we dream, those who torment us almost always visit us when we're still awake.”

“Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.”
