‘ My sister will die over and over again for the rest of my life. Grief is forever. It doesn't go away; it becomes a part of you, step for step, breath for breath. I will never stop grieving Bailey because I will never stop loving her. That's just how it is. Grief and love are conjoined, you don't get one without the other. All I can do is love her, and love the world, emulate her by living with daring and spirit and joy.’  - Jandy Nelson, The Sky Is Everywhere

You have a history of victory.”  - Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Let’s go to the playground, Mimi , and swing as high as we can next to each other as we did oh so many times and sing out loud . Swinging so high the chain swings go ‘ ka-chunk’ 

Sing out loud again and again our favorite song over and over until the streetlights come on and we have to run home 

‘With tuppence for paper and strings 
You can have your own set of wings 
With your feet on the ground, you're a bird in flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite Oh, let's go fly a kite 
Up to the highest height Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring 
Up through the atmosphere Up where the air is clear Oh, let's go fly a kite 
When you send it flyin' up there 
All at once you're lighter than air 
You can dance on the breeze 
Over Alpses and trees
With your fist holdin' tight 
To the string of your kite Oh, let's go fly a kite 
Up to the highest height Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring Up through the atmosphere 
Up where the air is clear Oh, let's go fly a kite
