Jodi Picoult Quotes
Sometimes Parents Don't Find What They're Looking For It Their Child, So They Plant Seeds For What They'd Like To Grow There Instead. I've Witnessed This With The Former Hockey Player Who Takes His Son Out To Skate Before He Can Even Walk. Or In The Mother Who Gave Up Her Ballet Dreams When She Married, But Now Scrapes Her Daughter's Hair Into A Bun And Watched From The Wings Of The Stage. We Are Not, As You'd Expect, Orchestrating Their Lives; We Are Not Even Trying For A Second Chance. We Are Hoping That If This One Thing Takes Root, It Might Take Up Enough Light And Space To Keep Something Else From Developing In Our Children: The Disappointment We've Already Lived.
