We are here five generations after you and a lot has happened. a lot of the things that used to exist when you were 12 and even when you were 28 don't exist anymore. people broke a lot of things other than silence during your lifetime. and people learned how to grow new things and in new ways. now we are very good at growing.

I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.Duke, Miracles, p. 2"I know we've had our differences, Allie, and that we haven't seen eye to eye on everything. I'm not perfect, but I did the best I could with raising you. I'm your mother and I always will be. That means I'll always love you."
Allie was silent for a moment, then: "What should I do?"
"I don't know, Allie. That's up to you. But I would think about it. Think about what you really want."Anne Nelson and Allie Nelson, An Unexpected Visitor, p. 137"I can't make this decision for you, Allie, this one's all yours. I want you to know, though, that I love you. And I always will. I know that doesn't help, but it's all I can do."Anne Nelson, An Unexpected Visitor, p. 138"Follow your heart,"Anne Nelson, An Unexpected Visitor, p. 139
