“When you lose your parents, the sadness doesn't go away. It just changes. It hits you sideways sometimes instead of head-on. Like now.”
“Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.”
“and that's the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going into every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.”
“You can scrub and scrub, but sometimes something doesn't just go away. It . . . it stains you.”
“Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.”
“But she wasn’t around, and that’s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.”
