“ There was only one way to the other side, and that was through the pain. ”
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.
The open forgiveness in her eyes, the uncensored love, terrified me.
Nothing you could do would make me send you away. Nothing.
