It reminds me of: "Let the wind of Heaven dance between you two." What's this from?

Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

From the second-to-last page -- the boy's father died a few pages, but I'm not sure how much time ago, and the woman and her family take the boy in:

"She would talk to him sometimes about God. He tried to talk to God but the best thing was to talk to his father and he did talk to him and he didnt forget. The woman said that was all right. She said that the breath of God was his breath yet though it pass from man to man through all of time.
