“When I was born, the umbilical cord came wrapped around my neck, so when I came out, I wasn't breathing. The cord had cut off my oxygen - not the entire time, just at the end, when my mom was giving birth. When I came out, I wasn't conscious, so they had to work on bringing me back. It was a crazy moment.” GivingEndsMomentsBornCuttingCrazyMomBirthConsciousMy MomBreathingNecksOxygenCordsGiving BirthUmbilical Cord Author:LaMarcus Aldridge
“The Alzheimer's Association is what I am passionate about. My grandfather had it. My mom has it. It's a horrible disease, and with our aging population, it's a growing problem.

“The fabric of my life is under my skin; [but] it's definitely not something that comes up in a conscious way when I read material. I have an incredible relationship with my mom, so I'm fascinated by mothers who do not have that. But I've never done anything that resembled my life. People always jump to that conclusion, and I wish life were that simple, but it's not.” PeopleWayDoneLife IsMotherWishSimpleMaterialsMomConsciousSkinsIncrediblesCome UpMy MomConclusionFascinatedFabric Author:Charlize Theron
“We come from fallible parents who were kids once, who decided to have kids and who had to learn how to be parents. Faults are made and damage is done, whether it's conscious or not. Everyone's got their own 'stuff,' their own issues, and their own anger at Mom and Dad. That is what family is. Family is almost naturally dysfunctional.” MadeDoneKidsStuffParentIssuesMomDadConsciousDecidedFaultsDamageMom And DadDamage Is Done Author:Chris Pine
“James Wilkie is so conscious of the time we spend together. I try to be home to tuck him in at least four nights a week, and if I'm not, he's not letting me get away with anything. The other night I was sitting with him on the steps before Matthew and I went out to the theater, and he looked at me and said, `Mama, this has got to stop. Go upstairs and take that dress off.'” IfsTryingSaidHomeTogetherMotherNightStepsFourWeekMomConsciousSittingTheaterDressesMotherhoodGet AwayMamaMatthewUpstairs Author:Sarah Jessica Parker
