Never lose faith in yourself, and never lose hope; remember, even when this world throws its worst and then turns its back, there is still always hope.
Why couldn’t you turn into a fireball when we were on the same team!
No. Don’t give up hope just yet. It’s the last thing to go. When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.
Maybe the only good thing about death is that you never have to relive it. You never have to remember the pain.
This is war, and people are going to die. Friends are going to die. I’ve come to accept the pain, to take the ugliness for granted. So it can be a little stunning when something good actually happens.
I’m so sorry, Henri, I whisper in his ear. I close my eyes. I love you. I wouldn’t have missed a second of it, either. Not for anything, I whisper. I’m going to take you back yet. Somehow I am going to get you back to Lorien. We always joked about it but you were my father, the best father I could have ever asked for. I’ll never forget you, not for a minute for as long as I live. I love you, Henri. I always did.
My experiences have taught me that things rarely improve with a simple change of scenery.
