"What allows me to endure is knowing that what I wish for - those I yearn for, and all that I love - wait for me. All I must do is have the strength to stand up and move toward them." It puts it into simple, small, achievable terms.
"I am not carried by these motivations. I carry the weight of knowing that if it is all lost, then I am the reason why." And he would never fail them. Could never fail them. It could not all be for nothing.
"You may lack someone or something to wait for you," His lack of an answer is enough to demonstrate that. "but I hope you find that what you need erelong."
