Sarah Dessen Quotes

But As I Stood Watching Her, I Realized How Truly Hard It Was,really, To See Someone You Love Change Right Before Your Eyes. Not Only Is It Scary, It Throws Your Balance Off As Well. This Was How My Mother Felt, I Realized, Over The Weeks I Worked At Wish, As She Began To Not Recognize Me In Small Ways, Day After Day. It Was No Wonder She'd Reacted By Pulling Me Closer, Frcibly Narrowing My World Back To Fit Insider Her Own. Even Now, As I Finally Saw This As The Truth It Was, A Part Of Me Wishing My Mother Would Stand Up Straight, Take Command, Be Back In Control. But All I'd Wanted When She Was Tugging Me Closer Was To Be Able To Prove To Her That The Changes In Me Were Good Ones, Ones She'd Understand If She Only Gave Them A Chance. I Had That Chance Now. While It Was Scary, I Was Gong To Take It.
~Macy, Pgs 351 And 352
