“- O que pode você ou qualquer um de nós fazer para evitar ser abandonado, Timmie? - perguntou Jean Charles filosoficamente. - As pessoas têm o hábito de nos deixar na vida, mesmo que não sejamos órfãos ou tenhamos cinco anos. As pessoas que amamos morrem, maridos e mulheres fogem, somos despedidos do trabalho, mesmo que a culpa não seja nossa. E as pessoas que se amam por vezes magoam-se umas às outras, mesmo que seja a última coisa que queriam ou tencionavam fazer. A vida é dolorosa, e não há garantias. Se amamos alguém, a pessoa pode deixar-nos ou mandar-nos para o orfanato de outras maneiras. Todos já lá estivemos, em certa medida. Mas você muito mais do que a maioria. Lamento muito que tenha tido de passar por isso, principalmente em criança. Como a vida deve ter sido terrível para si - disse ele com simpatia.”
