The following quote is from Voyager by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 40, “I Shall Go Down to the Sea.” Copyright ©️1994 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“I took a deep breath and wiped my cheeks with a corner of my cloak. ‘It was a long time ago, though.’ I rose slowly to my feet and turned to find Mother Hildegarde watching me with an expression of deep sympathy and interest.
‘I have noticed,’ she said slowly, ‘that time does not really exist for mothers, with regard to their children. It does not matter greatly how old the child is—in the blink of an eye, the mother can see the child again as it was when it was born, when it learned to walk, as it was at any age—at any time, even when the child is fully grown and a parent itself.’
‘Especially when they’re asleep,’ I said, looking down again at the little white stone. ‘You can always see the baby then.’”
