... the food was good solid stuff for a cold morning, all calories and fat and protein and maybe a vitamin crying softly because it was all alone.
Terry Pratchett
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.

Strength enough to build a home, Time enough to hold a child, Love enough to break a heart

Her singing always cheered him up. Life seemed so much brighter when she stopped.
