Children of the Mind by Orson Scott Card

The end of our lives, even if there’s no forward continuation, no progeny at all, the end of our lives doesn’t erase the beginning. If the purpose of life was just to continue into the future, then none of it would have meaning, because it would be all anticipation and preparation. And part of it is the web of connections. “But part of the purpose of it is now, is the moment. “But the point of it is to go on, isn’t it? To connect with the future?”

“Not one moment of my life with my family has been wasted,” said Olhado quietly. “What will it matter then, that you have such a big happy family, if you’re all erased in one instant by that … bomb? The dazzling Ender series, which has changed the face of science fiction, concludes.“Will we be extinguished? What difference does it make then, the ones of us who had plans, what does it matter the work we’ve done? The children we’ve raised? He looked pointedly at Olhado.
