Jan Ellison Quotes
What Happens To A Marriage? A Persistent Failure Of Kindness, Triggered At First, At Least In My Case, By The Inequities Of Raising Children, The Sacrifices That Take A Woman By Surprise And That She Expects To Be Matched By Her Mate But That Biology Ensures Cannot Be. Anything Could Set Me Off. Any Innocuous Habit Or Slight Or Oversight. The Way Your Father Left The Lights Of The House Blazing, Day And Night. The Way He Could Become So Distracted At Work That Sometimes When I Called, He'd Put Me On Hold And Forget Me, Only Remembering Again When I'd Hung Up And Called Back. The Way He Wore His Pain So Privately, Whistling Around The House After We'd Had A Spat, Pretending Nonchalance, Protecting You And Your Sisters From Discord, Hiding Behind His Good Nature, Inadvertently
