He turned to her and said, "When I am dead you will be able to grow, spread your wings and do wonderful things."
"And when I am dead you will be able to do the same," she replied.

A love so kind that it breathed new life into me, but the nearer I flew to the sun the darker the shadows on the ground. You have lived in those shadows without a thought for yourself. When I am gone the sun will light you as it always should and people will know the brilliance that reflects from you."
