Louise Erdrich Quotes About Parents

Quotes about: Parents

• Women without children are also the best of mothers,often, with the patience,interest, and saving grace that the constant relationship with children cannot always sustain. I come to crave our talk and our daughters gain precious aunts.

A child is fortuante who feels witnessed as a peron,outside relationships with parents by another adult.
