Have you ever watched a child learning to walk? Before this week, I never had, but there's a certain grace to it. Well, if not grace, then tenacity. Fall down nine times--get up ten. And the tenth time you get where you're going, you don't stop, not for obstacles, not for other people telling you to stop. You don't listen to anything but that inner voice until you arrive where you want to be.

Ann AguirreRight now, I wish Iโd stayed because I want you at my side. That sounds pretty selfish, but I donโt mean it that way. You just never needed me that way; I said it to you once as I was leavingโthat you love me, but you donโt need me. You donโt lean. But I admire that about you, and I could use some of your strength right now.
