The Four Seasons
The secret to survival was in seeing the world through the eyes-and heart-of a child. That was Merry's lesson to her sisters. To treasure life, and most of all, to love. Simply, unconditionally and with joyful abandon. To love without demanding or expecting anything in return.

The Four Seasons
This anger I felt wasn't about the child at all. It's inside me and it's poisoning so many of my relationships. It leaves so little room for compassion." She reached up to wipe a tear from her face. "That's no way to live. I have to get over it. I may need some help, I don't know. But I realized something today dredging up all those murky memories. I can't change the past. I can't take the hurt back. But I can soften it if I can just learn how to accept it.

see so many things in you, Anne Marie," she said softly, tilting her head as she continued her perusal. "The way you move your head a certain way, the breathiness of your voice, the manner in which you hold your shoulders back when you walk. They say there are blood ties in every family and I believe it. I'd like to tell you everything there is to know about me and my family-your family. Not to detract from the family that you already have, but to add to it.

But she had the chance now to make things right, at least for her daughter. She may have done a lot of things wrong, but the decision to give up her child would be the one responsible, unselfish act of her life. It was the best thing she'd ever done. But it felt like the worst."

Wichita. The roads here are flat and I can see for miles. Easy driving. Times like these, I wish you were sitting here beside me chatting, instead
