― M.K. Tod, Time and Regret

“And now I understood. I understood that Jim was not strong enough to cope with my success, and that Grandmama wanted to be more than the wife of an art gallery owner. I understood that their daughter’s failed life and the loss of their son when he was two years old were heavy burdens for my grandparents, burdens that caused Grandmama to be demanding and resentful, and my grandfather to surround himself with young artists. Understanding them helped me understand myself.”
