Everyone has these two visions when they hold their child for the first time. The first is your child as an adult saying "I want to thank the Nobel Committee for this award." The other is "You want fries with that?".
I was an only child. I did have kind of like a lonely existence.
Ever since my children were born, the moment I looked at them I was crazy about them. Once I held them I was hooked. I am addicted to my children sir. I love them with all my heart and the idea of someone telling me I can't be with them, I can't see them everyday. Well, it's like someone saying I can't have air.
My children give me a great sense of wonder. Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
After a while, you just kind of chill. It just becomes a whole different lifestyle and no one bothers you.
The brightest light has gone out. We will forever celebrate her loving spirit.
a weird combination of isolation and connection and disconnection; discomfort and awkwardness.
