Dont go far off not even for a daybecause I dont know how to say it - a day is longand I will be waiting for you as inan empty station when the trains areparked off somewhere else asleep.Dont leave me even for an hour because thenthe little drops of anguish will all run togetherthe smoke that roams looking for a home will driftinto me choking my lost heart.Oh may your silhouette never dissolveon the beach may your eyelids never flutterinto the empty distance. Dont LEAVE me fora second my dearest because in that moment youllhave gone so far Ill wander mazilyover all the earth asking will youcome back Will you leave me here dying

Weeping is not the same thing as crying. It takes your whole body to weep and when its over you feel like you dont have any bones left to hold you up.

As mothers and daughters we are connected with one another. My mother is the bones of my spine keeping me straight and true. She is my blood making sure it runs rich and strong. She is the beating of my heart. I cannot now imagine a life without her.

To love is to recognize yourself in another.

To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world.

Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high.

My heart only ever had one thought one want. One need. Despite all in spite of all...All my heart has ever wanted is you.

Well its true that I have been hurt in my life. Quite a bit. But its also true that I have loved and been loved. and that carries a weight of its own. A greater weight in my opinion. Its like that pie chart we talked about earlier. in the end Ill look back on my life and see that the greatest piece of it was love. The problems the divorces the sadness... those will be there too but just smaller slivers tiny pieces.

Life is funny. Things change people change but you will always be you so stay true to yourself and never sacrifice who you are for anyone.

Youre gorgeous you old hag and if I could give you just one gift ever for the rest of your life it would be this. Confidence. It would be the gift of confidence. Either that or a scented candle
