“I always want her to know she is loved. But I will make my own mistakes, I know. I can only hope that she will forgive me for those; forgiveness is all a parent can hope for.”

“When looking at her I imagine my childhood and I live it all over again. Having children is getting to live two lives.”

“Sometimes, things fall apart...so we can put them together in a new way. It is time to make things right.”

“I am so happy, to be your mama.”

“Sometimes we see only what we want to show ourselves.”

“Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.”

“Lover? I don't know. I don't know if she loves me. I don't know if I love her. All I can say is, she's the one I think about. All the time. She's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see.”
