“When I think of my father, I think of my heart breaking in stages. A dull pain, then piercing. Electric. Still, somehow, gradual.”
T Kira Madden, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls

“Sometimes it feels like we are only this: moments of knowing and unknowing one another. A sound that is foreign until it's familiar. A drill that's a scream until it's a drill. Sometimes it's nothing more than piecing together the ways in which our hearts have all broken over the same moments, but in different places. But that's romantic. Sometimes it's realer than that.”
T Kira Madden, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls

“There are so many ways to lose a person. There are so many revisions.”
T Kira Madden, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls
