“ I would keep her, and raise her, and love her, even if she had to teach me how to do it. ”
This time, there was no escape, I could not turn away, could not leave without accepting what I had done. There was only one way to the other side, and that was through the pain.
~ Vanessa Diffenbaugh
The relentlessness with which these women tried to repair their relationships was foreign to me, I didn’t understand why they didn’t simply give up.
There was only one way to the other side, and that was through the pain.
The open forgiveness in her eyes, the uncensored love, terrified me.
