“IT BECOMES almost suffocating watching a person try so hard in life and yet fall over and over again based on their poor decision-making”

“But our girl is destined to take the harder roads in this world. She always has been. She has to make mistakes and learn. That’s her only way out of it. All we can do for her is to be here when she comes back, because she will always need a soft place to land. The world is so hard and unforgiving, and although she will want to run, raising hell all over, her heart is good.”

“When your kids or grandkids grow up, you realize just how much the simplest memories mean to you. When you are in the thick of raising them, loving them, helping them grow, you never think that it’s the minute, day-to-day things that you’ll pray to dream about each night, just to have those feelings again, that connection, that closeness. You spend your life protecting them, putting them first, and fiercely loving them, then they do their job and grow up and leave. As they should. But at night, if you are lucky, your mind just might fall back and echo memories to you from the darkness, allowing you to hold their tiny hands in yours again, feel the warmth of their hot breath on your face waking you up in the mornings once more, or hearing their little voices call from the swing, begging for just one more special twisty push.”

“It all moves so fast. One minute we were young and full of adventure, then time winds down and you don’t know how the hell you got here, to this place, talking to the ghosts of your past and clinging to memories that you’re terrified to lose.”
