“I have never looked into my sister's eyes. I have never bathed alone. I have never stood in the grass at night and raised my arms to the beguiling moon. Iâ€™ve never used an airplane bathroom.

So many things Iâ€™ve never done, but oh, how Iâ€™ve been loved. And, if such things were to be, Iâ€™d live a thousand lives as me, to be loved so exponentially.”
