“Inside my heart an ocean of tears swells and crashes, yet I do not cry. I feel as if part of me is now made of sorrow, some new and tender organ that will pain me until the day I die.”
― Carrie Anne Noble, The Mermaid's Sister

“Being a parent was so much more than baby books and birthing classes. It was late night groans over who would get up to change diapers. It was fits of laughter over each face she made, and fits of anger over each toy stepped on in the dark. It was pictures that didn’t do real life justice, memories captured with eyes and cameras both. It was worry over if we were feeding her the right things and loving her the right way. It was tears of agony when she was sick, when all we wanted to do was take the pain for her, and it was tears of joy over her first word spoken.”
― Kandi Steiner, What He Always Knew
