Still... I would have hugged my mother if we were the kind of family who hugged. If touching her weren't impossible. If her subnightie waft was not so utterly, fatally repulsive. That's how much I loved her.

About This Quote

"Still... I would have hugged my mother if we were the kind of family who hugged. If touching her weren't impossible. If her subnightie waft was not so utterly, fatally repulsive.

That's how much I loved her." The above quote is a good example of the terrible damage the love of a mother can do to a daughter. It is also an excellent reminder to all parents that they are only human and sometimes make mistakes, but that does not diminish the fact that they are still very much loved by their children.
