But even though all this was going on at home, if someone had tried to take me away and put me in a children's home, I couldn't have handled it. Even though my mother was very brutal, it was my home.

Its taken me a long time to become the person I am, for all the ugliness to fall away. The rotten flesh is gone, and the seed is there. I can touch that now.

An apology is the superglue of life. It can repair just about anything.

I know it sounds crazy, but I have had far more connection with my parents after their deaths.

Every time I "get with the program"... somebody changes the channel.

Complaining is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the person you're complaining about.

Aaron and I will be joined at the hip until the day we die. We have loved and hated each other since the day he was born. He's very much a part of my heart. He's going to broadcasting college now, and he'll do fine. But he came into a world that did not welcome him.
