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

“Sometimes words are more powerful than guns. And sometimes silence is more powerful than words. It is the things that are not said that are important.”

“No daughter and mother ever live apart, no matter what the distance between them.”

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

“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.”

“We must row in whatever boat we find ourselves in.”

“I am so happy, to be your mama.”
