“Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them - a mother's approval, a father's nod - are covered by moments of their own accomplishments.

“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”

“Death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.”
