“When I first started, I couldn’t even finish a mile. Now I can do five. And you know what? Once you can do one mile without stopping, the next few aren’t as hard.
“I guess that’s how it is with everything. The hardest part is getting started.”

"The drunk driver had hit her while she was walking across the street to her parked car. He’d hit her and then sped off, not even checking to see if she was still alive.
An older woman with a walker nearby had witnessed the event and called for the ambulance. Now his wife lay here, in a coma - his world, his everything - unable to breathe on her own.
In the span of a moment, his entire life had come crashing down."

“Stop it, man! Just stop it! I’m not afraid to die and you shouldn’t be afraid for me either. I’ve got enough people like that around me, I don’t need another one. Live on. That’s it. You see, everyone’s so afraid to die. I’ve been afraid too, for so long, until I realized it’s not about dying - it’s about living while you can. I just wanted to enjoy every moment I had with the people I loved, before it’s all gone."

"He’d needed her touch - for ten years, he’d needed her touch - but she hadn’t been there. She’d left him alone, shivering in the dark, yearning for a warmth only a mother could provide. Night after night, he’d prayed for her return. He’d begged God to bring her back. But night after night, his prayers were ignored, and his hopes crushed."

This is my next book which will soon be published. I've already finished the editing, and working on transferring it to Scribus before I publish it. It's a pretty crazy journey so far. Marcus is trying to move on from the pit he's fallen into after the breakup, and we're about to dive into Tommy's dark past.
