From a book I recently read:
"If you've read this, you'll know it contains some - not all, but some - of the things I want my daughters to know. And the greatest of these is love. Please know that you have mine, unconditional, and powerful and awesome. So strong that I can't believe it will die with me. I want to imagine it as a living thing that goes beyond my body and my death, as a vine that has grown and wound its way through the very core of you all, and cannot be uprooted or destroyed, but rather will hold you erect when everything else is crumbling and withering inside you."
