Quote by Roger Macdonald Andrew

“Sometimes the relationship between parents and their children is gloriously simple and uncomplicated, with the children always adoring their parents and treating them in time, and through adulthood, as best friends, confidants and mentors. Then the grandchildren come along, and the close-knit family simply expands adopting the same tried, tested and reliable model. That’s the Ideal, that’s how it should be; however, it is the real world out there, and things don’t always work out quite like that … or at all like that in all too many cases.”

“God's family is our true family Just as the family you grow up in shapes your identity such as your name, beliefs, and values, being part of God's family is a new identity. Our individual relationships and families still matter, but our new status as sons and daughters of the living God comes first.”

“This was the way of a small place full of interwoven families. From birth, people developed the necessary social skill of being duplicitous. Be polite and mind yer own business. Never say true things if it didn't help matters; in fact, the truth often made matters worse. The present was complicated enough. And history? Well that had been the tragedy that lay behind it all. The truth was often way too painful; it would end in talk of heinous crime. So no one bothered to speak of it.”

“Si para recobrar lo recobrado debí perder lo perdido, si para conseguir lo conseguido tuve que soportar lo soportado, si para estar ahora enamorado fue menester haber estado herido, tengo por bien sufrido lo sufrido, tengo por bien llorado lo llorado. Porque después de todo he comprobado que no se goza bien de lo gozado sino después de haberlo padecido. Porque después de todo he comprendido que lo que el árbol tiene de florido vive de lo que tiene sepultado.”
