It Was Their Mothers, Long Ago. Tibby

Please Don't Judge Me Too Much Until You Are Older And Know More Things. (spoken From Mother To Daughter)

It Was Frustrating When People Loved You And Took An Interest In You And Sometimes Worried About You And Personally Cared What You Did With Yourself. Lena Wished That Love Were Something You Could Flip On And Off. You Could Turn It On When You Felt Good Bout Yourself And Worthy Of It And Generous Enough To Return It. You Could Clip It Off When You Needed To Hide Or Self-destruct And Had Nothing At All To Give." (lena, 194)

I Love That Blurry Place Where Life’s Transitions Are Made Without You Even Knowing It.

There Was Love Expressed In The Places You Usually Forget To Look.

Someday When You're Twenty, Maybe, I'll See You Again. You'll Be This Hot Soccer Star At Some Great School, With A Million Guys More Interesting Than I Am Chasing You Down. And You Know What? I'll See You And I'll Pray You Want Me Still.
