Read: For One More Day

Such a great read.  What I would gladly give for one more day with my Mom.

Some quotes that I picked out while reading that I like:

That’s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going into every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.

You can go your whole life collecting days, and none will outweigh the one you wish you had back.

There’s a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother’s story, because hers is where yours begins.

You can find something truly important in an ordinary minute.

A child embarrassed by his mother is just a child who hasn’t lived long enough.

My father could hurt you more with a pause than any man I’d ever known.

Belief, hard work, love—you have those things, you can do anything.

When you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.

You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart.
