Violet said to Amos, How many times, Amos Fortune, have you been standing on the way to laying hold of your own good life and how many times have you set it all aside? Three times. There was Lily, then there was Lydia, and then you put your all on me.

Amos believed it was his calling to take care of others... he put the needs of others before his own, and in turn, he created his legacy.
