All we ask of her is to lead us and that we may understand. With all the love you have around you, with your mom and your brother, and others God has gathered, you can avoid much of the pain that comes with misuse and misunderstanding, those things that accompany the adolescent and sentimental affectations of love. Love has surrounded you in great battlements built upon strong and tested walls. I know your mother. The power and depth of her heart and the love it bears is too great to measure.
Love can trust it.
It has for years. So can you. You should kiss the hand that left its mark upon your face. With Your counsel You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory. And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
