Through the Wilderness Quotes

“Before we lost Marley, I thought a serious bout of food poisoning, being way too cold, or going without love was suffering. These are discomforts. Most of life’s agonies are mere discomforts that resolve themselves in time. But true suffering in a healthy place is vital to recovery when the wound is so deep and permanent there is no escape. I had to come to terms that some lingering shreds of suffering and I were now lifelong mates, so let’s make the best of this. Let’s get to know each other and try to work together for the betterment of Brad. Let’s make Marley proud as Old Horn had prophesized.”
