Quote by Cathy Burrell

“Leaving Calgary the first time around 1973 was a wrenching experience, filled with the drama of being ten, the youngest in a family of crazy people. I have told this story to nearly everyone I have ever met in my life, and as I get older I recognize how this one event changed the direction of my life.”

In many ways, I am different: I speak flawless English, I don't stew Chinese herbs into drinks I force onto others, I don't guilt trip my loved ones into doing things I want, I don't shout unnecessarily, I speak in a normal tone of view, and I strive to blend in and not stand out. But now I realize, these are all just surface differences. Deep down in my core, I am precisely the product of my family. When skin and flesh are ripped away, I am exact replica of them.”
