    “Denny wrapped one arm around me, and I was suddenly warm despite the chill in the air. My heart was doing Double Dutch until the look on Liam’s face tripped it up.

    Rage.”

    “A mortal tether is what binds us to this world. It’s all the beautiful things in our life that make it worth living. It’s the love my parents had for me that lives inside me even though they’re gone and the knowledge deep in my soul that my Mom and Dad would want me to fight and live on and find a way to be happy again. It’s the hope against impossible odds I’ll see my brother one day and get crushed by one of his annoying bear hugs. It’s the pitch of Sara Angelina laughs when I tickle her foot. It’s the deep pink of Liam’s blushes when he steals glances at me and thinks I can’t see.”

    “If you truly love someone, you’ll fight for them.

    Fighting doesn’t always mean wielding a hammer. Sometimes it means taking a hard job and doing something you don’t want to do. And sometimes fighting for someone means holding them when they cry and helping them remember how to breathe.”

    “I want her to grow up knowing that a person can be both sweet and tough, fragile and strong… and just because a girl’s in distress doesn’t mean she’s a damsel in distress. It’s ok to need help. It’s ok to break down and have to be rescued. In fact, sometimes asking for help is the bravest thing we can possibly do.”

    “How should I know?!”
    “Well, you’re the expert!”
    “Why, just cause I’m a girl I’m supposed to know every single freaking thing about babies?!” I kicked a fallen bottle of ketchup down the aisle. “I’M NOT HER MOM! I’M NOT EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO BE A MOM!”
