Jason Reynolds Quotes
Well, I'm Sorry You Couldn't Make It Either. I'm Sorry I Had To Sit There In That Church--which, By The Way, Had A Broken Air Conditioner--sweating, Watching All Those People March Down The Aisle To Look In My Mother's Casket And Whisper To Themselves All This Mess About How Much She Looked Like Herself, Even Though She Didn't. I'm Sorry You Weren't There To Hear The Lame Choir Drag Out, Song After Song. I'm Sorry You Weren't There To See My Dad Try His Best To Be Upbeat, Cracking Bad Jokes In His Speech, Choking On His Words. I'm Sorry You Weren't There To Watch Me Totally Lose It And Explode Into Tears. I'm Sorry You Weren't There For Me, But It Doesn't Matter, Because Even If You Were, You Wouldn't Be Able To Feel What I Feel. Nobody Can. Even The Preacher Said So.
