Waiting is the cruellest thing I have ever endured. Like bereavement, but with no certainty.
“When we go to the airport, we have the kids get us to our gate. These little things build confidence. This is not to say Doug and I have it all figured out - far from it. This is just how we approach parenthood and find ways to enjoy one another more.”

“Dad!' I'd complain when I lost track of what he was saying. 'Speak English.'
'Megyn, I will not lower my vocabulary to meet yours,' he said. 'You must raise yours to meet mine.”

“Most of my own power has come from excellence, not advocacy. My approach is to say to myself, 'Just do better. Be better.' That's not to say there's no bias, no sexism. There is, and it's not good. It's just that for me, the solution of doing better is far more empowering than lamenting one's circumstances.”

“How are you so strong?' I asked her.
She came over and held me.
'Anything is doable as long as it's time-limited,' she said. 'This pain will never go away, but it will get easier.'
My mother was so sad, but so brave at the same time. Once when she was at work during this time, she had a contentious exchange with a table full of doctors at the hospital. Uncharacteristically, she burst into tears. While crying, she choked out: 'These tears are not about you. They are about my husband. But don't let the tears dilute the content of my message.”
