“You know what yellow roses signify?” I had to interrupt because she was so caught up in the scene I thought I would never get her back. “Friendship, but I know you got them because they are my favorite color.” “Not just friendship. They signify strength. I don’t know if anybody told you how incredibly strong you have been. To go through the things you went through, something that never should have happened, and for you to still be brave enough to be here. To be open to what we are building even though the walls you built were high, it is worth every effort to climb them muthafuckas.”
