Grief is heavy, but so is love.. and somehow, we learn to carry the weight of both.
“Since the loss of my parents, whenever an unknown call comes up on the caller ID, especially late at night, I'm sure it's going to be someone else I love in the type of trouble I can't save them from.”

“He has thrown himself heart and soul into a match made in Heaven as He vies for our love and trust. Now we have to choose again and again through all the inevitable periods of struggle and distance to trust Him as much as He has trusted us.”

“In feeling Him join me in my human frustration, I felt like I could join Him in His godly perspective.”

“Grief is exhausting. No one talks about that. Or, at least, no one told me. No one told me just how exhausting it feels to carry it around with you. And it uses the same muscle as love. Because with real love you have to show up and give. You have to show up and be given to. And it's not so much that I've forgotten how. It's that it's all added up to be so heavy.”

Just because, even though I never even looked at them, if I could save one thing in a fire—besides Peanut, of course—I wouldn’t even think about it. One hundred percent those skates.”
