"Sleep well, Caleb?"
I shook my head.
"What happened last night was my fault," I said. "I put up the rope, Sarah. I must havedone it wrong."
"Fault?" said Sarah. "Oh, Caleb, I want you to listen to me. There comes a time when fault doesn‘t matter. Things happen. And we can‘t blame ourselves - or someone else-forever." - P109
"Things happen, Jacob," I heard Sarah say. "The rope broke. I could have died."
"Don‘t, Sarah," said Papa.
"You could have lost me, Jacob," said Sarah. "And that‘s the way life is. Something happens . . one little moment in time. If you‘re lucky, you have a chance to make things better. You have that chance here. Don‘t let it pass." - P111
