Some things you cannot stop happening.

I wished for someone to hold me up. Suddenly someone was there.

At first I had not understood Mama. But as I grew older, maybe not wiser, certainly more realistic, I realized she did the best she could. She loved me, in her own way. Not everyone is born to be a mother. It does not come naturally to some women.

..there are two possible endings to every story.

Sometimes words are more powerful than guns. And sometimes silence is more powerful than words. It is the things that are not said that are important.

Some things are more than we can understand.
