“But being a stay-at-home mom was the loneliest kind of lonely, in which she was always and never by herself.”
“She always camouflaged herself as a crowd. I've never been lonely, she said, but sometimes it's hard to think above the noise.”
“People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don't think that's true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.”
“She had received ideas which disposed her to be courteous and kind to all, and to pity every one, as being less happy than herself.”
“Hmmm...I think I'd like to be a stay-at-home mom with no kids.”
“The tear stayed in her eye, never falling down her cheek, and then the left side of her mouth crept up into a half-smile. This was my mom. She would come home to us again. -If I Know It's Coming”
