Quote by Raduan Nassar

“[...] foi um milagre descobrirmos acima de tudo que nos bastamos dentro dos limites da nossa própria casa, confirmando a palavra do pai de que a felicidade só pode ser encontrada no seio da família; foi um milagre, querida irmã, e eu não vou permitir que este arranjo do destino se desencante, pois eu quero ser feliz, eu, o filho torto, a ovelha negra que ninguém confessa, o vagabundo irremediável da família, mas que ama a nossa casa, e ama esta terra, e ama também o trabalho, ao contrário do que se pensa; foi um milagre, querida irmã, foi um milagre, eu te repito, e foi um milagre que não pode se reverter: as coisas vão mudar daqui pra frente, vou madrugar com nossos irmãos, seguir o pai para o trabalho, arar a terra e semear, acompanhar a brotação e o crescimento, participar das apreensões da nossa lavoura, vou pedir a chuva e o sol quando escassear a água ou a luz sobre as plantações, contemplar os cachos que amadurecem, estando presente com justiça na hora da colheita, trazendo para casa os frutos, provando com tudo isso que eu também posso ser útil [...]”

“A cet égard , je trouve cela curieux l’amour d’une mère. C’est quelque chose qui vous contient tout entier, durant neuf mois - puis qui vous lâche. Pas le choix – ni pour elle, ni pour vous. Ensuite, c’est du soin constant, puis du souci. De la joie aussi – enfin j’imagine… Puis un jour, plus rien. Je veux dire : l’un des deux corps disparaît, le regard par lequel on était sans doute attaché l’une à l’autre, la mère et l’enfant, n’a plus lieu d’être, plus rien à quoi s’accrocher. C’est l’espace qui s’ouvre à la place – tout entier. C’est une libération peut être. Je n’en sais rien en fait.”

“That was the thing about storms. When you were in the middle of them, they felt so powerful. They felt as if they were driving your life, and you were left with no control over the way the winds blew you. That was why it was so important to have a core group of love surrounding you at all times. When you faced the storms together, when you held the hands of the ones you loved, and stood steady, the storms had a harder time pushing you over. The storms didn’t blow you away because you were linked to the world with love, the most powerful weapon that could be used during the mightiest of storms. And when the storm passed? You were left standing with the ones you loved, staring out at the rainbows.”

“Before you died, I learned about death from Jiddo, whom I was never close with but whose death taught me that someday even our family will be gone. After that I held each of your hugs just a second longer, even when I would have rather been doing something else, because someday you'll be gone and I would wish I could go back to those moments. But now you are gone, and your absence hurts too much for me to think about those hugs, those games, those afternoons watering your plants. It's been five years, and time hasn't healed any wounds. You are all I think about some days, and yet I can't bear to remember the way things used to be.”

“Love Candle Holding on to God so tight surrounded by the ones we love there’s a peacefulness through faith the prayers we send above. Cast your breath upon my family Lord knowing loves candle won’t burn out allow us to hold your hand of grace free our hearts from any doubt. We need you now so meaningful in this world that’s not so fair we’re ready to climb any mountain top we know your standing there.”
