“If I could be doing anything, I'd be laying on the floor in my birthday suit eating junk food and watching something dumb on TV.”

“You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.”

“Completeness? Happiness? These words don't come close to describing my emotions. There truly is nothing I can say to capture what motherhood means to me, particularly given my medical history.”

“Long tresses down to the floor can be beautiful if you have that but learn to love what you have.”
