She didn’t understand why it was happening,” he said. “i had to tell her she would die. her social worker said i had to tell her. i had to tell her she would die, so i told her she was going to heaven. she asked if i would be there, and i said that i would not, not yet. but eventually, she said, and i promised that yes, of course, very soon. and i told her that in the meantime we had great family up there that would take care of her. and she asked me when i would be there, and i told her soon. twenty-two years ago.

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

I didn’t get her cutting at all. she’d done it sporadically, ever since the accident and it scared me each time. she'd try to explain it to me, how she didn't want to die—she just needed to get it out somehow. she felt so much emotionally, she would say, that a physical outlet—physical pain—was the only way to make the internal pain go away. it was the only way she could control it.

My mother wanted to be a teacher when she was young, and my father didn't approve of it, so she fought very hard to become one. and she did it. so when i said i wanted to become an actress, my mother was very supportive. she always said to me, 'there's no such thing as 'can't.

She's a yellow pair of running shoes, a holey pair of jeans. she looks great in cheap sunglasses, she looks great in anything. she's, "i want a piece of chocolate cake; take me to a movie." she's a, "i can't find a thing to wear." now and then she's moody. she's a saturn with a sunroof with her brown hair blowing. she's a warm conversation i wouldn't miss for nothing. she's a fighter when she's mad and she's a lover when she's lovin'.

I'm actually cautiously optimistic that donald trump will be so bad that he will force america to wake up and realise that forcing america to vote for right wing republicans is always a terrible idea. it's never been a good idea, but what happened here is you have a president like obama who gives you eight years of relative stability and prosperity, and people forget that republicans are just terrible, not just for the country but for the planet. maybe this is america's equivalent of bottoming out, like a crystal meth addict going on one last big run before they have to get sober.
