Some quotes

I've always been inspired by words, but since I lost my brother, sometimes words just resonate louder than ever with me. Before, I used to seek out the meaning, now? The meaning screams at me, no digging or searching required. I'd like to share a couple with you now:

We watched Life of Pi last night. Wow, what a wonderful movie about perseverance in the midst of tragedy. Here's a couple quotes that really spoke to me:


"Even when God seemed to of abandoned me, he was watching.  Even when he seemed indifferent to my suffering, he was watching.  And when I was beyond all hope, he gave me rest.  He gave me a sign to continue my journey."

"I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go.  But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.  I was never able to thank my father for all I've learned from him.  To tell him, without his lessons, I would have never survived."

The one above really speaks to me, because I didn't have a chance to say goodbye to my brother. His accident was so sudden, he was braindead by the time he got to the hospital. The only goodbye I've done is speaking to his spirit, which of course, is never quite the same. So I definitely understand what Pi was talking about when he said that. 

"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny." C.S. Lewis

"Without the rain, there would never be rainbows."

"Do not judge. You do not know what storm I've asked her to walk through." - "God"
