"My mom just needed me by her side. She left after a strange conversation. She was talking about end of life plans and what she wants when she passes. I felt like I was talking to her for the last time. It broke me up, and I cried when she left."
"Oh sweetie. I'm so sorry. It is so hard when parents talk about that. We all have to face the reality that we are only here for a short time. For her to talk to you tells me she knows you are the one that will make sure her wishes are met. How incredibly honored that must be, that she looks at you as the son that she loves so deeply that she knows you are her king of swords, the guardian, the protector. I was eight years old when my mother told me that I would have to take care of my sister when they were dead. How's that for putting a heavy burden on a child? I love you and please know I'm not going to ever let you be without me by your side."
"I'm overwhelmed. I've never met someone as deeply as I've met you. You're exceptional and I'm not sure how to take it all."
"One day at a time. Each day is different, each day is special, each day will bring new memories, new meaning. Open your eyes every morning and make it a good day. I have struggled for many years worrying about what other people think of me. Boy, was that a waste of time. Now, I am glad for each day and if I can make someone smile or help someone... I know why I'm still here."
"You're a beautiful soul Tom, and I'm so happy you're in my life."
"Ditto Mr. Ryan Jevne..."
