Quotes about: School

• In fact, since the accident, Mom doesn't love anyone. She is marble. Beautiful. Frigid. Easily stained by her family. What's left of us anyway. We are corpses. At first, we sought rebirth.

And sometimes we stagger beneath the weight of grief, the immensity of aloneness.

  Beautiful, Mom, Morning
