"Her world is so far away from mine. She will never return to my arms."

"Nevertheless, I must ask. I have to. I must be prepared to ask and ask until I tire myself out. Because my daughter is my child. In the end, I want to know, and I must know. I don't want to be the kind of parent who runs away. I don't want to avoid and hesitate, and end up losing my daughter."

"All I can do is believe that I will make it through the long stretch of tomorrows."

What an impactful book. Beautiful.
