We have a long way to go to being the perfect couple, we certainly donโt live the fairy tale marriage, he doesnโt shower me with rose petals and fly me to Paris on weekends but when I get my hair cut, he notices. When I dress up to go out at night, he compliments me. When I cry, he wipes my tears. When I feel lonely, he makes me feel loved. And who needs Paris, when you can get a hug?
Cecelia AhernSometimes you have to give yourself to somebody in order to see who you are. Sometimes you have to unravel things to get to the core
Cecelia AhernAfter having my baby I felt like I'd been introduced to my life, I slowed down, I paid more attention to simple things, I addressed a few issues in my own life, I even got married, I looked at what was important and what wasn't, and so I used that experience for inspiration.
Cecelia AhernShe had been given a wonderful gift: life. Sometimes it was cruelly taken away too soon, but it's what you did with it that counted, not how long it lasted.
Cecelia AhernPerhaps it would have been easier if I said that not being able to find something is like suddenly not remembering the words to your favorite song that you knew by heart. Itโs like suddenly forgetting the name of someone you know really well and see every day, or the name of a television show you watched for years. Itโs something so frustrating that it plays on your mind over and over again because you know thereโs an answer but no one can tell you it. It niggles and niggles at me and I canโt rest until I know the answers.
