Kym’s Quotes

“Three stupid pieces of chocolate can't mean a lifetime away from the people I love." Tears streamed down my face, and my body trembled. "I don't want to forget what I have here."

"I won't let that happen to you."

"I want it. The candy," I whispered, ashamed to admit it out loud and scared to death because the ache in my stomach was a hunger I'd never felt before. "Even though I know what it is, I can't stop thinking about it.”

“Hope is a double-edged sword. It is a feeling of admitting you are powerless and not in control of a situation, while providing the comfort and encouragement that the situation will change for the better.”
