Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before.

I love children, love spending time with them; I love getting things for them.

You're young. Maybe there'll be time for a do-over if you don't get it right the first time. But there are no guarantees. There will come a time as it has for me when there's no time for a do-over.

I certainly have a lot to lament, as do we all, everybody has their griefs. But the griefs we can fix, shouldn't we go around fixing them?

I have less energy than I did when I was a younger parent, although I was never really a young parent.

It's more likely in America that your parents will file for bankruptcy than divorce. We think of divorce as so prevalent, but we all know that happens because somebody moves out of the house.

My job is to stay alive until the medicine and research catch up.
