Quote by Kara Goucher

“My mom thanked him for being such a force in her life, my sister told him how much she loved him right before his breath slowed down, my sister thanked him for being our dad, and I just said, ‘Say hi to our dad and to all your brothers,’” she says. “As horrible as it was, it ended very beautifully.”

“I long to grow up, to be a man. I long to be in a hurry to do something, before time runs out. I long for the feeling that life is precious, that I have to cram as much as I can into every sun-drenched day and every frost-filled night; to know that childhood is special because it dies not last forever; to have friends, like Aiden and Roxy, who will not look at me strangely, and then turn away from me when I fail to age like them.”
