“Death is never an excuse to stop living.”

“A ghost from her past, part of a world to which she no longer belonged but had never stopped missing.”

“So many people never pause long enough to make up their minds about basic issues of life and death. It's quite possible to go through your whole life, making the mechanical motions of living, adopting as your own sets of ideas you've come to any conclusion for yourself as to what life is all about.”

“When you've been hurt, you don't make excuses for the jerk who hurt you. That's his mama's job.”

“One unforeseen advantage of having a  child was that it gave me the excuse to talk to myself to my heart's content and pretend it was for my daughters benefit.”

“Normal....What the majority of people look, act, and talk and like.So what if the majority became what we see as wierd now?Would our normal, become our new wierd?”

“nothing exciting ever happens, so you stop thinking it's going to. and then something does happen, and you miss it. completely. ”
