Being thin is not more important than enjoying life

Losing my mother at such an early age is the scar of my soul. But I feel like it ultimately made me into the person I am today; I understand the journey of life. I had to go through what I did to be here.

I have a more developed sense of my priorities. Life has so much more meaning now.

The experience of being cared for is profound, and it nourishes the soul as much as the food does the body.

Eric Lewis doesn't play the piano, he devours it. He doesn't play music, he channels the divine.

You make sacrifices to become a mother, but you really find yourself and your soul.

I say to everybody, 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'
