Built to Last Quotes

“Yeah, but my sister couldn’t. Over time, she became my responsibility. I’m the one who braided her hair. I’m the one who checked her homework and talked to her teachers. I had to talk to her about sex and boys. I was her mother and her father after Mom died and Dad shut down.” She loved her sister and her father. But having to step in and be a parent to her younger sister robbed her of ten years of her life. Her friends had moved on with their futures, many married and settled in their careers, and she was just starting out on hers.”
