John William Tuohy Quotes

Otherwise, There Were No Long Goodbyes Or Emotional Scenes. That Isn't Part Of Foster Care. You Just Leave And You Just Die A Little Bit. Just A Little Bit Because A Little Bit More Of You Understands That This Is The Way It's Going To Be. And You Grow Hard Around The Edges, Just A Little Bit. Not In Some Big Way, But Just A Little Bit Because You Have To, Because If You Don't It Only Hurts Worse The Next Time And A Little Bit More Of You Will Die. And You Don't Want That Because You Know That If Enough Little Bits Of You Die Enough Times, A Part Of You Leaves. Do You Know What I Mean? You're Still There, But A Part Of You Leaves Until You Stand On The Sidelines Of Life, Simply Watching, Like A Ghost That Everyone Can See And No One Is Bothered By. You Become The Saddest Thing There Is: A Child Of God Who Has Given Up.
