And the way I loved her was like nothing else. This, I decided, was the love all other loves were measured against. They say girls look to marry their fathers, but I decided after having Maxie that we all, every one of us, were looking to marry our mothers.

Some months after my father died, in December of that same year, my mother told me, “Your Daddy was just heartbroken when he saw how hurt you were this past summer. He'd watch you out the window of our hotel room, sitting there alone, writing in your notebook, and it was almost more than he could bear.
