Wise words.

Kate and I spent the evening at Ami’s, just sitting and talking to her and watching some old TV shows. As we were leaving and getting her ready for bed, Ami showed us a little suitcase full of cards and letters that Papa had given her over the years. We looked through a few – I don’t think any of us were really up to the task of doing so exhaustively, at least not yet, anyway. Kate took Ami’s breakfast tray away to the kitchen, and after Ami closed the suitcase, she wrapped her arms around me and said, “It’s not an easy world out there, kiddo. But you can get by it all, just so long as you remember to say, ‘I’m going straight on’. That’s what we do best. And if something stops you, don’t let it get you down. Just…. poke them in the nose.”
