“That my father is a man and not some godlike hero of legend to be followed without question. He is a man with many flaws, who has made a thousand mistakes and will make a thousand more. And that still, to me, he is the greatest man who has ever lived. He has fought and lost and sacrificed for four hundred years, and he has never stopped. No matter what this world did to him or the people he loved, he always stood back up. I have seen twenty-four summers, and already I am tired and weary. I could not do what he has done, nor would I want to.”
