“There were thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit.There were grief and the ruins, and you were the miracle.”
“Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were an hour, I would die for you. This is the miracle of love.”
“There were absences in my life which were a comfort, then were was a presence that ruined me.”
“Never has anyone been so willing to be ruined as you were.”
“What you can become is the miracle you were born to be through the work that you do.”
“I tore the crusts off my grilled cheese sandwich and set them aside to throw out for the birds. Their motives were pure -- hunger, thirst, shelter -- and they didn't mind leftovers.”
