That my parents are only human, with human foibles and flaws. I mean, it's a lesson we all have to learn eventually, but it was the fact I had to learn it so young and so dramatically that make it stick out in my mind.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
