Quote by Orson Scott Card

She going to be free now. She can go home to Jesus. Call me selfish, but I wanted her to go home with me.

She going to be free now. She can go home to Jesus. Call me

Summary

This quote reflects a bittersweet sentiment expressed by the speaker. They acknowledge that someone dear to them has passed away, and while they find comfort knowing that the person is now free from suffering and can be with Jesus, there is a hint of selfishness in their desire for the person to have gone home with them instead. It encapsulates the conflicting emotions of wanting someone you love to find peace yet also longing for their continued presence in one's own life.

It's interesting because a lot of my 16-year-old kids' friends know me from 'Wedding Crashers,' and not so much Bond. My kids have a good laugh. I was 20 then. The look I had then was the look that a lot of their friends are assuming now. They think it's cool. What goes around comes around.
