Thoughts - even fears - were airy things, formless until you made them solid with your voice and once given that weight, they could crush you.

This is the problem with forever friends. They know too much.

One thing I can tell you for sure is this: we only regret what we don't do in life.

From the first time we met, we knew everything that mattered about each other, didn't we? We just knew. I guess that's what best friends are: parts of each other.

It isn’t about being at the same school or the same town or even the same room. It’s about being together. Love is a choice you make.

A daughter without her mother is a woman broken. It is a loss that turns to arthritis and settles deep into her bones.

but sometimes one person can hold you up in life, keep you standing, and without that hand to hold, you can find yourself free-falling no matter how strong you used to be, no matter how hard you try to remain steady.
