“A mortal tether is what binds us to this world. It’s all the beautiful things in our life that make it worth living. It’s the love my parents had for me that lives inside me even though they’re gone and the knowledge deep in my soul that my Mom and Dad would want me to fight and live on and find a way to be happy again. It’s the hope against impossible odds I’ll see my brother one day and get crushed by one of his annoying bear hugs. It’s the pitch of Sara Angelina laughs when I tickle her foot. It’s the deep pink of Liam’s blushes when he steals glances at me and thinks I can’t see.”
