Kindle Notes & Highlights
“If you kin see de light at daybreak, you don’t keer if you die at dusk. It’s so many people never seen de light at all.”
“When we lose someone we love, it’s easy to just pretend they was never there. To try and make it easier. But it don’t work, cause they was there. And now you got a big ol’ hole where that person used to be.”
“You gotta fill that hole with the memories, else you might lose ’em for good.”
“Our children don’t have to make the same mistakes we did.” Granddaddy speaks, calm. “Let ’em decide who to be for themselves.” Then we cross the street together, Granddaddy holding my hand and me wondering who I would be, if I could decide for myself.
“In life, we’re going to get hurt. If we stay focused on that hurt, and nothing else, then we won’t ever be able to heal. But if we focus on the healing, well, then we’ll start to notice that hurt disappear. It’s all a matter of what you choose to focus on.”
daddy hug is something special that you don’t even know you need.
