Jodi Picoult
The scariest thing in the world is thinking someone you love is going to die.
Jodi Picoult
It's the child who's supposed to cry, and the mom who makes it all better, not the other way around, which is why mothers will move heaven and earth to hold it together in front of their own kids.
