Mom: I’m sorry I can’t be there. Sloane: I really don’t blame you. It won’t be a long meal. I can tell you that much. Mom: You inspire me, Sloane. Sloane: Inspire you? Mom: To care less what anyone thinks. To put myself first. To be stronger. Sloane: I don’t feel strong. Mom: Oh, my darling. But you are. And I’ll never regret sending you that text, because that day you learned just how strong you can be.
