excerpt:
What can he say? What words will possibly make this right for Dean? He can’t say, this is a miracle. He can’t say, I don’t know why, but somehow—somehow there’s a power up there who has looked at me and said, “I’ve seen you, Sam, I’ve seen the road you’ve been on and the things you’ve given up, and I’ve heard you pray your heart out every day of your life since you first knew how to fold your hands, and I forgive you for the lives you’ve taken and the wrong turns you’ve made, because (somehow, despite everything) you are precious to me, and there is the spark of goodness in you.”
