Maybe her parents had picked a favorite kid, but that hadn’t bowed Kate. It had made her lock her legs and stand strong instead.

About This Quote

As her parents got older, they were no longer the people who had raised Kate. They had become the people who lived in the house, and they didn’t like what they saw. Their daughter was growing up before their eyes. Yet Kate looked at them with the same eyes she had used when she was younger.

The problem was that her parents hadn’t understood that that was exactly what their daughter wanted. She wanted to stand strong in the face of change, and she wanted to keep her life exactly as it had always been. Her parents couldn’t understand why she would do this when they were gone, but Kate was still young enough to see something different in life than most people did.

Most people focused on what they had lost when their parents were gone, but for Kate, it was the things she had gained that made her happy.
