When you're a mom, you learn about fear. You're always afraid. Always. About everything from cupboard doors to kidnappers to weather.

Oh, Mia. You haven’t even begun to find out who you really are, and, believe me, other boys are going to fall in love with you. If a guy can’t see how special you are, he isn’t good enough for you.

Of course you can fall in love. You just have to let yourself. They don't call it falling for nothing. -Kate

It's not a date. I bought my own drink and I didn't shave my legs.

As mothers and daughters, we are connected with one another. My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. She is my blood, making sure it runs rich and strong. She is the beating of my heart. I cannot now imagine a life without her.

I guess no one stays friends for more than thirty years without broken hearts along the way.

She waited for you in a thousand different ways.
