"I saw you tonight.. it was so different. I tried to say I'm sorry but I was interrupted. You touched me like I should stay, but I kept walking. My apology wouldn't change anything anyway. I'm not even sure I did anything wrong.. I just thought that it could fix everything. But we're not little kids anymore.. sometimes words don't make everything better, and relationships aren't always okay again." - Allison
"So you're gone and I know you had me promise I wouldn't cry, and I'm sorry. I know you're never coming back and I may never see you again, and well, it hurts. It hurts beyond imagination. And I thought I could handle it, but I can't. I want to reach out and touch you -- kiss you -- but you're not there. I would have given anything to tell you, 'I love you' one last time. But it wouldn't have changed anything. I despise fate." - JoAnne Golden
"Things aren't great. The nightmares of my past are returning to haunt me in my sleep. When I'm awake, a certain sound, a word, brings back the memories and I freeze. I can't breathe. My soul is so torn. I wonder if it will ever be healed completely. My heart is ripped into shreds. It doesn't seem as if there's anyway to mend it. I'm dying. I'm dying and no one can tell. They don't even care. It's torture, going through the motions of life as if I'm really here. I don't remember the last time I really felt anything. The last time I cried or laughed and meant it. And I wonder why no one can tell. They all say the love me but then why aren't they able." - Jacqueline Kelly
"All families have problems. Mine especially. But I love them without end. Not because they're blood--but because we rely on each other. . . when others scurry away. We can not talk for weeks, and we can pick up right where we left off--in the midst of conversation and friendly embraces. That's what family is all about." - JoAnne Golden
