Kindle Notes & Highlights
This is a place for lost things. A family of choice, rather than blood.
“Butterflies don’t belong locked up inside.”
“Are you here to get lost, Micah?” “Some people don’t want to be found in the first place.”
“You’ve grown your angel wings now.” I grant myself a tiny smile. “Say hello to Pedro for me. I hope he’s keeping you company up there. We’ll see you one day.”
“Nothing in this entire world could make me see you any differently,” he says with fire. “I see a mama bear determined to protect her baby, and the strongest woman I’ve ever met.” “You’re wrong. I’m broken.” “Broken wings can still fly. You are living proof of that.” My throat constricts. “All I can do is fall.” “I’ve got you, and I’m never letting go. None of us are. We’re here to catch you if you fall and help you get back up again. That’s what family is for.”
You gave me a family. You gave me a future. You gave me a reason to live again. Perhaps I’m selfish for asking this of you, but please, don’t hate me for making this choice. You can be angry. Be furious. But please, I beg of you… don’t hate me. I have to protect my daughter. She will always come first. I’ll live in hope that one day, we will meet again. Until then, please keep my heart safe. I’m enclosing it in these pages for safekeeping. I don’t need it if you’re not here with me. I love you all. Know that. Forever your girl, Willow.
