“And for the first time since the night I found out, I cry about my parents and the fact that they’re splitting up. But I don’t cry for myself. I cry for my mom because she’s just like me.

Because my mom is my mom, yes, but my mom is also a little girl deep down, I just never took the time to notice.”
