He will never know how much I love him because he does not remember the day Darrow and I conceived him, or the months I carried him inside me, or the minute he came into the world, the moment he said his first word or took his first step, or made me laugh for the first time.

“Greet every morning with a smile. That way it won’t know what you’re planning to do to it?”
