“You have such a big heart, I actually get concerned sometimes. It must be bursting at the seams of your chest, Blair. I don’t know how it stays in there. Seriously, see a doctor.”

“I think of my mother when I’m on a plane. I think of her many places, even though she’s been gone sixteen years now. She never knew my boys, but she has helped me raise them.
