Forever and Back (Life on the Ledge Duet, #1)

by Ashley Manley

But with all the noise, it’s so easy to forget that there’s more than one way to do just about anything. There’s no one way to have a happy life.

“Mom,” she says, voice cracking as I stand—once again the only one in the gym doing so. “You have spent your life teaching me how to be selfless. How to give and give and give. You give compliments and smiles. You give time. You once gave a peep show to the senior class in a ridiculous bathing suit.” I laugh through my tears along with the entire senior class. “Thank you, for showing me that not all heroes wear capes. That the real superstars don’t always win awards and get name recognition. Some are just there, loving everyone around them and taking care of the little details that nobody else wants to. The sole reason that others can shine like stars is because people like you create a sky for us to shine in.”

😭😭😭😭
