    Jodi Picoult
    “Other people look at me and think: That poor woman; she has a child with a disability. But all I see when I look at you is that girl who had memorized all the words to Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by the time she was three, the girl who crawls into bed with me whenever there's a thunderstorm - not because you're afraid but because I am, the girl whose laugh has always vibrated inside my own body like a tuning fork. I would never have wished for an able-bodied child, because that child would have been someone who wasn't you.”
    ― Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care

    Jodi Picoult
    “I suddenly remember being very little and being embraced by my father. I would try to put my arms around my father's waist, hug him back.

I held him, instead of him holding me, and all I wanted at that moment was to have it back the other way.”
