Amir is a dynamic character that finally, after more than 30 years, learns his lesson and has almost changed completely in dynamics. Amir begins the story as a child seeking only his father's acknowledgment. He is selfish and cowardly and will never fight his own battles. This is something that Amir struggles with for most of his life. He slowly begins to out grow this when he is living in American and has to take care of his father. Latter when he goes to Afghanistan he realizes there is no one to fight his battles for him any more and he has to redeem himself. Amir makes up for his past selfishness and fights for sohrab. He treats Sorab like a son and serves him however he can. Hassan said the quote above to Amir when they were children. This quote is repeated by Amir to Hassan's son at the end of the story. Just as Hassan loved Amir and would serve him forever, so would Amir serve and love Sohrab. This is a complete change of Amir's characterization as a child and earlier in the book.
