“I have one more gift for you,” Noah said, pulling out a small package, wrapped in simple Kraft paper. Opening it, Arie found an old copy of A.A. Milne’s Winne the Pooh. “It’s a first edition. I hope you’ll read it to our kids one day. You can even tell them the story about how a Princess had a picnic with Pooh and his friends at a castle on an island.” She beamed. At that very moment, she couldn’t love him more, even if she tried.”

“So is the author saying that if we allow ourselves, despair can eat us alive?” “Yeah. He’s trying to tell us that we all struggle. The sun will continue to rise regardless of whether we want to help ourselves or not. It’s up to us to see if we can get ourselves out of our own despair. We can shake off our own self-doubt to find the strength to move on. We’re capable. We need to believe that we can.” “I guess nothing is more wasteful than idle men, frozen to do nothing because they’re too afraid to try, huh?” “Exactly. Doubt and fear have killed more dreams than failure ever has.”

“I’m sorry, Grandfather. I’m sorry that this is how it ends for you. I’m sorry that your last words were not ones said surrounded by family and friends. I’m sorry that you died alone in hospice and that you left the world without anyone by your side. I know that it’s too late, but we are here. And whether you can or can’t see us, you were our grandfather and we’ll always love you,” Noah finished.”

“Josie, you were my first grandchild. There was so much that I wanted to do right by you. I had so many hopes and dreams for you that I never got to share. I know that it was my fault. I was the one who created a toxic environment, causing your parents to alienate you from me. But it’s my dying wish that you please find it in your heart to forgive me for not being the grandfather you deserved.”

“Mr. Hinkle felt like an intruder. Yet he couldn’t pull himself away. It was thirty minutes. It was a lifetime of pain. It was a mountain of misunderstandings. It was a flood of vulnerability. So many emotions erupted from every nook and cranny of that room. He couldn’t call it healing because here was no closure. There was no moving past this. If anything, there’d only be regret and sorrow. Mr. Hinkle whispered the two words synonymous with too late: “If only.”

“From the moment that I met Noah, I loved the boy. I saw something special in him. A love, a fire, a passion for making the world a better place. Noah has been and continues to be, the type of person who would sacrifice himself to help out a stranger. It’s his sheer belief that his small acts of kindness would make the world a better place someday." “But you’re wrong, Noah,” he said, turning to Noah. "Your small acts of kindness won’t make the world a better place someday. They already are and have. Only you’ve been so busy that you haven’t taken the time to notice it. But I have. I’ve seen the good you’ve done and how they’ve affected other people’s lives.”

“Arie, you bring out a fire in Noah that I’d never seen anyone else ignite. You not only complete him and compliment him but you are his opposite and other half. You are the very essence of who he is. He is who he is because of you. When he looks at you, he sees a mirror reflecting all the things that he hopes and longs for in life. And that, my dear, is something that no one will ever be able to take away from you.”

“Enclosed is a picture that I drew of myself. It was from a long time ago…when there were still three of us living in that house and under that roof. This is how I saw myself, or the man that I hoped to be one day. I kept it all these years because it reminded me of the way you used to look at me. You used to believe in me so much. Please accept it as a small token of my gratitude for everything you’ve done for me. It hasn’t gone unnoticed. I am a better man today because of you.”

“Mother,” Brandon interrupted. “You got rid of Julie without even asking us. She was the only person who cared about us and now she’s gone.” “Are you still children that you need a nanny?” asked Luke. “No!” Brandon yelled, realizing too late that he raised his voice. You’re going to pay for that one, Bran. “It’s hard to lose the only mother figure you’ve ever had,” Josie chimed in.”
