The following quote is from Voyager by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 42, “The Man in the Moon” Copyright ©️1994 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“Baby—I wrote, and stopped. Then swallowed hard, and started again. You are my baby, and always will be. You won’t know what that means until you have a child of your own, but I tell you now, anyway—you’ll always be as much a part of me as when you shared my body and I felt you move inside. Always.
I can look at you, asleep, and think of all the nights I tucked you in, coming in the dark to listen to your breathing, lay my hand on you and feel your chest rise and fall, knowing that no matter what happens, everything is right with the world because you are alive. All the names I’ve called you through the years—my chick, my pumpkin, precious dove, darling, sweetheart, dinky, smudge … I know why the Jews and Muslims have nine hundred names for God; one small word is not enough for love.”

[> This one brings tears to my eyes EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I honestly don't know how Claire left Bree, knowing she'd likely never see her again. I couldn't imagine myself leaving my kids, even now, when they are grown. -- DianaH, Thu, May 18 2023, 9:59:58
