heaven holds a place for those who pray;

Let him grow taller, she asked the gods. Let him know sixteen, and twenty, and fifty. Let him grow as tall as his father, and hold his own son in his arms. Please, please, please. As she watched him, this tall young man with the new beard and the direwolf prowling at his heels, all she could see was the babe they had laid at her breast at Riverrun, so long ago.

“What would my lord father do?” he asked her.

“Find a way across,” she told him. “Whatever it took.”

Do you wonder why the men of the Night’s Watch take their wives and father no children? So they will not love. Love is the death of duty… but what is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? We all do our duty when there’s no cost to it, honor comes easy then. But sooner or later, in every mans life, there comes a day when it is not easy. A day when he must choose.
