“My mother has made choices in her life, as we all must, and she is at peace with them. I can see her peace. She did not cop out on herself.

Maybe some things were sacrificed, and my dad made his sacrifices, too-but who amongst us lives without sacrifice?”

“My mother hasn’t asked the questions that a normal person would ask, and I’m grateful for it. It’s like the world has become so crazy that it makes sense to her now.
