The story of my recent life.’ I like that phrase. It makes more sense than ‘the story of my life’, because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality- and in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.

Be compassionate … and take responsibility for each other. If we only learned those lessons, this world would be a better place.

Itâs very simple. As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, youâd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. Itâs growth. Itâs more than the negative that youâre going to die, itâs also the positive that you understand youâre going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.

This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It’s knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.

There are five people you meet in heaven. Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on earth. This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for.

In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.

Everyone is in such a hurry. People havenât found meaning in their lives, so theyâre running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running. Once you start running, itâs hard to slow yourself down.

I made such a fool of myself,â she lamented.âLove does not make you a fool.ââHe didnât love me back.ââThat does not make you a fool, either.ââJust tell me âŠâ Her voice cracked. âWhen does it stop hurting?ââSometimes never.
