Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that's why they're here. You'll have that gift forever.

I've shut myself inside these walls, and I'm going to be a very lonely old lady if I'm not careful.

In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.

Motherhood is not for the faint-hearted. Frogs, skinned knees, and the insults of teenage girls are not meant for the wimpy.

People do strange things sometimes, when they feel hopeless.

I have these wonderful homes, and no one to share them with.

I'm surprisingly practical in much of my life, but not when it comes to my shoes.
