“done, he just said in the simplest of ways into the phone, ‘Then stop.’ And I said, ‘Well, stop what?’ and he says, and I’ll never forget this, ‘Well,”
Lisa Duffy, The Salt House

“I wrote about how you can love your child with something that surpasses logic and reason and words, and you can still screw up. Even with the best intentions and loftiest goals, sometimes, as a parent, you fail. I wrote how so many of these moments stare back at you and say, See, you were told being a parent would be harder than you imagined, the hardest job in the world, and you didn’t believe it. Did you?”
Lisa Duffy, The Salt House
