lonely?" Eris took a deep breath and then released it. "I got along by minding my own business and staying out of everyone else's. Not too many people cared about a tall Indian kid with no parents.

Working or staying home, one is still a mother. One is not better than the other. Both choices are worthy of the same amount of respect. — Shonda Rhimes
