Here are the words from the book:
"I know you're going through a tough time right now, and I want you to know I care."

"I can't say I know exactly how you feel....What I can say is "I'm here for you.""

"To hold your hand.....To listen without judging.....To offer an opinion if you want one."

"To hug you if you want to cry."

"I want to give you a break - to take you to the movies...or out for coffee"

"so you can think about something else for awhile."

"I am here, too, to simply sit and quietly be with you."

"I'm committed to be with you on your journey."

"It's hard to know why life decides to challenge us in the ways that it does"

"We may not immediately see the reason behind our trial.... Or think we 'deserve' our hurt"

That's why I wish you strenght and wisdom and perseverance."

"I wish you patience with yourself and with others who may not know what to say....Or who say the wrong thing."

"And most of all, I wish you hope....Hope for a better tomorrow than your today."

"This journey is your own. For better or for worse, this path is yours to follow."

"But you know what? It may lead to something far greater than you could have imagined."

"You may emerge stronger and braver and more capable than you ever thought possible."

"Sometimes, though, you just need to know someone is on your side...encouraging you, supporting you, praying for you."

"That someone...is me."

"I ask that you help me, too, by telling me what you need if I don't seem to be quite getting it."

"Don't burden yourself by thinking you're asking too much of me. That's the last thing you need to concern yourself with."

"I really care about you, and I'm going to see you through."
