“There are good people who are dealt a bad hand by fate, and bad people who live long, comfortable, privileged lives.

“We grow because the clamorous, permanent presence of our children forces us to put their needs before ours. We grow because our love for our children urges us to change as nothing else in our lives has the power to do.
