In the first chapter, there is this quote:
Even when all the paperwork - a marriage license, a notarized deed, two birth certificates, and seven years of tax returns - clearly indicates you're an adult, but all the same, there you are, clutching the phone and thanking God that you're still somebody's daughter.
Friends and co-workers and even husbands don't know you or love you like mothers and fathers did since before you were even born. It's a different kind of love and knowingness. And being a daughter to someone who loves you and knows you like that makes life feel better sometimes.
Yep. I agree.

LOVE that book! Love it.
ReplyDeleteTrue..but even still, your sister and brother may know and love a different 'you' better than even a parent.
