Benjamin Alire Saenz Quotes

My Dad Picked Me Up And Rocked Me In The Chair. I Felt Small And Weak And I Wanted To Hold Him Back But I Couldn't Because There Wasn't Any Strength In My Arms, And I Wanted To Ask Him If He Had Held Me Like This When I Was A Boy Because I Didn't Remember And Why Didn't I Remember. I Started To Think That Maybe I Was Still Dreaming, But My Mother Was Changing The Sheets On My Bed So I Knew That Everything Was Real. Except Me. I Think I Was Mumbling. My Father Held Me Tighter And Whispered Something, But Not Even His Arms Or His Whispers Could Keep Me From Trembling. My Mom Dried My Sweaty Body With A Towel And She And My Dad Changed Me Into A Clean T-shirt And Clean Underwear. And Then I Said The Strangest Thing, "Don't Throw My T-shirt Away. Dad Gave It To Me." I Knew I Was Crying, But I Didn't Know Why Because I Wasn't The Kind Of Guy Who Cried, And I Thought That Maybe It Was Someone Else Who Was Crying.
