“My prayer is that before they die, all people know that they are loved”

“It is hard to lose the people we love ,but feeling sorry they died is selfish.Dying is going heaven home to God we know your papa is in heaven with our Lady and Jesus.Let us try to be happy for him.”

“So many people came into your life, and they were such a part of the everyday that it was impossible to imagine them gone until, one day, they were.”

“Isn't it strange, Dez, that we never see certain parts of ourselves? Our backs, our lungs, our hearts. We never know what it really is to sit across from ourselves.”

“I do urge you to welcome children. Even one child will make a difference in your life that you cannot fathom. I promise you, my girl.”

“Maybe all men should have to fight for something sometime in their lives. I'm thirty-three years old and I've never had to fight for a blessed thing, have I?”

“A child is a part of the self, and of the loved partner; a representation of generations past; the genes of the forebears; the hope of the future; a source of love, pleasure, even narcissistic delight; a tie or a burden; and sometimes a symbol of the worst parts of the self and others.”
