Marry the man who will take the screaming baby as soon as he gets home from a long day at work and tells you to go grab a latte. Marry the man who hovers over your daughter at bath time every single night and prays over her sweet life.

Mama, I can see that you're tired. There are tears in your eyes and every now and then a tear rolls down your cheek. I'm sorry mama but I feel really strange in this new world. I miss home. I miss always being close to you.

"I felt isolated—people would stare at us and make rude comments."

"Marriage is found in the toughest spots in life—even the bathroom."

"Everything about her body language was screaming STOP…but he wasn’t listening. 'You should teach her some manners,' he scolded me."
