“You were teeny tiny like a baby tomato. But you've gotten so big! And you're going to keep growing until you're bigger and stronger and taller. So instead of thinking about dying, how about you think about how awesome it is to be alive? Dad can't run right now, but you can. Dad can't jump right now, but Roma can! Before you die you get to LIVE!”

“The game isn't over until we stop fighting.
Like my ten thousand hours chart.
Ten thousand touches.
Ten thousand tries.
Ten thousand spectacular fails until you finally get it.
I'm trying so hard to stay positive. Just because I'm failing right now doesn't mean I'll stop.
Believe me, if I could, I'd never doubt again. I'd believe every single second and never stop.”

“So what'd you write about?'
'I wrote about how last weekend my parents and I waited in line at the movies for an hour, and when we finally got up to the ticket booth lady, they were sold out! Isn't that sad?'
'That is super sad,' I said, wishing, hoping, one day that would be my super sad.”
