“It’s harder to talk about, but what I really, really, really want for Christmas is just this: I want to be 5 years old again for an hour. I want to laugh a lot and cry a lot. I want to be picked or rocked to sleep in someone’s arms, and carried up to be just one more time. I know what I really want for Christmas: I want my childhood back. People who think good thoughts give good gifts.”
― Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

“Forgiveness is not mine to give,” Mrs. Saint said. “It belongs to God. And as to whether he will, she will have to wait and see.” “But a lot of people forgive one another.” “I do not believe in it.” “The Catholic Church does, though, doesn’t it?” “I am not the Catholic Church. And I think it is too easy to get forgiveness from a person.”
― Julie Lawson Timmer, Mrs. Saint and the Defectives
