The world don't love you, but your momma does and so do I."

His dad sometimes asks him why he sets his alarm so early -- it's summer vacation, after all -- and Tyler can't seem to make him understand that every day is important, especially those filled with warmth and sunlight and no particular responsibilities.

He hoped that in the end even war surrendered."
