"The minister was talking about the mystery of faith, how easy it is to doubt what you can't prove, and how even though none of us saw the miracle in the Lord's tomb, all's we had to do was believe in it hard enough and it would be true." "And that's what faith was." "He said that we can 't be weak, that we can 't dismiss the miracle, that we have to be strong enough to make mysteries real." "I wished you'd been sitting there with me." "I can 't see you, I can 't touch you, but you are always in my heart." "Love, Maddie." "(Maddie) Dear Angel, I never told you about the night you left."
