“The cowboy boots arrived in one of these packages after my parents had vacationed in Mexico. When I slipped them on I discovered they'd already been broken in. My mother had worn them around the house for a week, smoothing the hard edges in two pairs of socks for an hour every day, molding the flat sole with the bottom of her feet, wearing in the stiffness, breaking the tough leather to spare me all discomfort.”

“If there was a god, it seemed my mother must have had her foot on his neck, demanding good things come my way.

“the only thing I'd always known was that if I ever did get married, my mother would be the one who made sure it was perfect. If she wasn’t there, I was guaranteed to spend the day wondering what she would've thought. It'd be impossible to feel beautiful without her approval. If she wasn't there, I knew I was destined to be a joyless bride… She had to get home to Eugene & watch her only daughter get married.”
