On My Own at 107: Reflections on Life Without Bessie Quotes

“Remember how I used to say, “Life is short, and it’s up to you to make it sweet”? Well, I was wrong about that short part. But I still believe it’s up to each person to make the best of life, to keep trying, no matter what. A lot of it is how you look at it. A lot of it is attitude. - Sarah L. Delany”

“I’m sure it wasn’t easy being in your big sister’s shadow for 104 years. You complained about it a lot but I know you’d have been miserable without me. Well, I’m glad things have worked out the way they have, because you never had to be alone, Bessie Funny thing is, though, by leaving me here by myself, you're letting me get the last word. Ooooooh, I'm not sure you would have liked that! - Sarah L. Delany”
