Quote by Elizabeth Berg

“Abby was saying that all her illness had done was to make her love Link and Daddy more . And appreciate everything more.

“She would toss in everything from mint, which signified virtue, to honeysuckle for love, fennel for strength (it was very strong in taste) and peppermint for warmth of feeling.

“I guess your gender feel natural to you. I'm jealous," he replies. Then he pauses. Thinks about it. "Except, actually, no. I don't think I am. I used to be. But the more I let myself just exist, the more fun it gets. So I try not to question it or label it. I'm trying to just see everything as.. negotiable.”

Committed to a wholly affirmative result, Johnson could not rest content to let anyone carry the brunt of change.”
