Here is a quote that struck me:
On Love:
You will find it and lose it, again and again. And with each finding and each loss, you will become more than before. What you make of it is yours to choose.
I want to hold that in reserve to give my daughter as she starts to travel through the loves of her life. The desire to shield a child from the pain of growing up is a strong one, it's also a futile one. Better to do your best to guide her to becoming as strong a person as she can be, so she can weather the storms of life rather than snapping in the maelstroms to come.
