You know. Life's short. If you don't try new things, you'll never know what you're best at. And you can only make time for new things by quitting the things you know don't work for you. ↗

When he’d started out, he’d expected to find his brother. What he’d never thought to find was the treasure that slept beside him now. Would you trade this to have Kieran back? It was a choice he was grateful he didn’t have to make. But in the end, he knew the truth. Catarina was his life. He would sacrifice anything for her. Anyone. ↗

If a mother is mourning not for what she has lost but for what her dead child has lost, it is a comfort to believe that the child has not lost the end for which it was created. And it is a comfort to believe that she herself, in losing her chief or only natural happiness, has not lost a greater thing, that she may still hope to "glorify God and enjoy Him forever." A comfort to the God-aimed, eternal spirit within her. But not to her motherhood. The specifically maternal happiness must be written off. Never, in any place or time, will she have her son on her knees, or bathe him, or tell him a story, or plan for his future, or see her grandchild. ↗

— C.S. Lewis
