It takes strength to make your way through grief, to grab hold of life and let it pull you forward. Patti Davis Read Quote
And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else. Patti Davis Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I’m part of the tribe who have said goodbye to one parent and are feeling a sense of responsibility for the one who remains – in my case, my mother. How do I make her time smoother, happier?

September 11 either made me love this country or it made me realize how much I already did. I think it’s the latter.

I certainly support anyone’s prerogative to hire or not hire whomever they choose, and I definitely don’t want to work for someone who doesn’t want me. Patti Davis Read Quote
I often imagine what it would be like if my father were still here to mark his 100th birthday, if Alzheimer’s hadn’t clawed away years, possibilities, hopes. What would he think of all the commemorations and celebrations? Patti Davis Read Quote
