sad children parent
In the English language there are orphans and widows, but there is no word for the parents who loses a child.
pain nice believe
I have always envied people who believe strongly in religion, people who could face a tragedy by praying and know that it would be all right. As unscientific as it seems, well, it would be nice to lay the responsibilities and pain on someone else's larger shoulders.
life change ends
If we don't change the direction we are headed, we will end up where we are going.
growing-up people parent
Parents aren’t the people you come from. They’re the people you want to be, when you grow up.
dog heart eye
When you have been with your partner for so many years, they become the glove compartment map that you've worn dog-eared and white-creased, the trail you recogonize so well you could draw it by heart and for this very reason keep it with you on journeys at all times. And yet, when you least expect it, one day you open your eyes and there is an unfamiliar turnoff, a vantage point taht wasn't there before, and you have to stop and wonder if maybe this landmark isn't new at all, but rather something you have missed all along.
want behavior worst
What we all want, really, is to be loved. That craving drives our worst behavior.
revenge journey two
When you begin a journey of revenge, start by digging two graves: one for your enemy, and one for yourself.
forgiving able never-forget
What was the point of being able to forgive, when deep down, you both had to admit you'd never forget?
confused mean where-you-are
I don't know what he means by that, but I nod and smile at him. You'd be surprised at how far that response can get you in a conversation where you are completely confused.
mothers-day mom mother-daughter
The best place to cry is on a mother's arms.
tolerance enough live-and-let-live
A place like this wears down everything, and tolerance is no exception. In here, coexistence passes for forgiveness. You do not learn to like something you abhor; you come to live with it...You live and let live, and eventually that becomes enough.
women struggle together
Some women are meant to change the world, while others are meant to hold it together. And then there are those of us who simply don't want to be in it, because we know no matter how much we struggle, we can't comfortably fit.
mom mother children
I wonder if other mothers feel a tug at their insides, watching their children grow up into the people they themselves wanted so badly to be.
positive thinking fine
if you tell yourself you feel fine, you will.
