More quotes by Patti Davis
It's one thing to show your love for someone when everything is going fine and life is smooth. But when the 'in sickness and in health' part kicks in and sickness does enter your lives, you're tested. Your resilience is tested.
Patti Davis
The house I grew up in had large plate-glass windows, which birds frequently crashed into headfirst. My father helped me assemble a bird hospital, consisting of a few shoe boxes, some old rags, and tiny dishes for water and food.
Patti Davis
My father's body lies in a stone tomb high on a hill. People walk by, pause, think their own thoughts about him and move on, back to their own lives. I can never move on. He is everywhere.
Patti Davis
Just think: people decided one day that a day should be set aside for motherhood and fatherhood. What a great concept that is.
Patti Davis
I think we can work through a lot of political and international problems, but what really frightens me is what's happening environmentally.
Patti Davis
I had this odd sibling rivalry with America.
Patti Davis
The memories stayed with him for so long, and stayed vivid. And it didn't matter to me that he'd already repeated that before. I could hear it forever.
Patti Davis
People love the way they're capable of loving-but that's not always how you want them to love or how you think they should love.
Patti Davis
America had taken my father from me. And over most of the years of his illness, I gradually started feeling this support system from this country who-people grieving along with us.
Patti Davis
I grew up in this era where your parents' friends were all called aunt and uncle. And then I had an aunt and an aunt. We saw them on holidays and other times. We never talked about it, but I just understood that they were a couple.
Patti Davis
I think the earlier stages of Alzheimer's are the hardest. Particularly because the person knows that they are losing awareness. They're aware that they're losing awareness, and you see them struggling.
Patti Davis
The most ethical way to deal with an unethical situation would be to simply say: 'We did something wrong.' But nobody in a family like mine would ever respond like this.
Patti Davis
I don't think it's an accident who our parents are I believe we choose them. So maybe I chose my parents in order to effect change.
Patti Davis
It takes strength to make your way through grief, to grab hold of life and let it pull you forward.
Patti Davis
I did what most writers do when something happens that's overwhelming, fascinating, moving, all of that. I didn't know what else to do about it except write about it.
Patti Davis
And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope - nothing else.
Patti Davis
The thing about losing any loved one, I think, particularly in a long disease, is that you know that other people have gone through it and are going through it, but I think for every person it feels unique.
Patti Davis
That is your legacy on this Earth when you leave this Earth: how many hearts you touched.
Patti Davis
I really just wanted to be a writer, but people tell you, 'You should have a backup career,' so I thought, 'OK, I'll act.' That was the foolishness of my vision for my life - that my backup career would be completely undependable.
Patti Davis
it ultimately doesn't matter which disease gnaws away at the body - it looks the same. The flesh surrenders, grows exhausted, and the eyes ask why.
