var quote = new Array(19); quote[0] = ""Your chapters on the power of dreams and saying goodbye in The Infinite Thread helped me tremendously to say good-bye to my son's father who died in 1999.

It was there in that embrace that we felt such a powerful unconditional love and yet the message was clear--it was time for us to part. So the next day, after six years, I said good-bye."
