Mary

“You have a gift for finding joy in small moments, which is a thing I used to have, but have lost,”
― Anne Youngson, Meet Me at the Museum

“We should look inside ourselves for fulfillment. It is not fair to burden children or grandchildren with the obligation to make us whole. Our obligation to them is to make them safe and provide them with an education. Karin can do that alone, if she chooses. She owes no one anything else. She owes it to herself to do what is best for her. When I had said this, Mary kissed me. I can’t remember the last time she did that. Or the last time I enjoyed a conversation more.”
― Anne Youngson, Meet Me at the Museum

“When I look at Karin now, I wonder if I am suffering from post-traumatic joy.”
― Anne Youngson, Meet Me at the Museum

“I understand now that loneliness is worse if there are people about than if there are not.”
― Anne Youngson, Meet Me at the Museum
