I...I love the quote you included from the book! I've been missing my dad a lot tonight and I think the quote spoke to me. Even though I wasn't angry with my dad when he died, I did spend a lot of my life not understanding him and him me. I am glad I got the chance to be his daughter again and friend before he passed away. I would hate to think of not having the opportunity to make things right with someone. I try very hard not to get angry now and I have not had a fight with anyone in almost 2 years (with the exception of a couple right after he died, but that's grief, you know?) and I feel so much relief discussing things and empathizing than being angry all of the time. It is such a weight off of my shoulders.<br /><br />Okay, sorry to go into all that. The quote just really hit home. Thanks for humoring me. :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-53766329962972774612009-08-02T13:35:48.436-04:002009-08-02T13:35:48.436-04:00it depends, the books we get we get quickly.

I actually found this book to be deceptively substantial (it *is* almost 400 pages!) and I think it draws you in with how funny the main character can be. My mom felt the same way.
