Subject: QOTD for Friday June 15th.

The following quote is taken from Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 27, Trout Fishing in America. Copyright (c) 1997 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.


The realization went through him like a sword trust. The boy’s mother was dead.
Not just his real mother, who’d died the same day he was born−but the woman he’d called mother all his life since.
And now his father− or the man he called father, Jamie thought with an unconscious twist of his mouth−was lying sick with that illness that had killed another man before the lad’s eyes no more than days before.

No, it wasn’t fright that made the lad greet by himself in the dark.
It was grief, and Jamie Fraser, who’d lost a mother in childhood himself, ought to have known that from the beginning.
