“I'm at the point where going forward is easier than going back.”
“I'm told there's no going back. So I'm choosing forward.”
“Was parenting ever going to get easier? Did you ever reach a point where you could stop worrying?”
“You and I are walking in the snow. "Why are you walking backwards?" I ask. You point in the direction we came from. "So they'll think that's where I'm going." You point to where we're going. "And that's where I'm from.”
“I think that if we can't go back, then we should try even harder to go forward. And I do want to go forward, to a place where loving someone because they have a gentle smile and a friendly hello is as easy as it once was.”
