“I told myself that some families we get without asking, while others we choose. And I chose those two. I think that’s what you’d call a silver lining.”

“I thought about having a proper room,breathing life into it, and nobody minding.”

“I smiled back and I thoughthow incredible that was, that they would find the time to smile. There was goodness in the world still, even if you couldn’t always see it.”
