““But they wanted you. Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be an answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future.” “What’s that?” “Hope.” The shame welled up inside her, and once again, she wept. She missed her mother more than ever. “I’m so sorry,” Sarah gasped, tears pouring down her cheeks. “It just felt like … the end.” “Ends are for yesterdays, not tomorrows.””
