"There will always be the older white woman in Walmart who stared at us with sheer disgust, or the African-American mother who looked at us and just shook her head.”
"I made eye contact with a lady who made a hand gesture for me to remove my birthmark from my face. I ignored her, but every time I would gaze her direction, she would make the same gesture. At the end of the service, the pastor asked if anyone had any final remarks. She stood up and stated, ‘I wanted the young lady to remove what was on her face.'"
Before I sacrificed time for you, your mother gladly sacrificed her body. Before I consoled you when you were upset, your mother consoled you with just the beat of her heart.
"You deserve someone who is obsessed with you. Not in a creepy/stalker Fatal Attraction-ish way, but in an “I can’t get enough of you” and miss you as soon as you’re gone way."
"We drove past a homeless man on the corner. My kids asked, 'Are you going to give him money, mom?' I didn't. I was stressed and quickly snapped at my kids to get them to be quiet so I could focus on driving."
Don’t think I’m judging you, I’m not! If that is what works for your family, then it’s wonderful. I know many families who thrive best with more structure. I’m just sharing our way.
