“I wish I didn’t have to see my mother dying. I can’t change anything. I have to live with it.”
“They still hold hands when they take walks. My mom still has the countless letters of love my dad wrote when he was away. My dad still cuts flowers from his garden for her. All that mattered was the love they found then. It’s all that matters now.”
“I asked, ‘Really?’ at least three times, thinking he was playing a cruel joke.”
“I just want you to know you can say, ‘My kids were jerks today.'”
