Madi Appreciation Week: Tuesday – Most Memorable/Favourite Quote

For as long as I can remember, I have been prepared for the day I would take my mother’s place. To know that from that day forth, I would forever be the one who tends as opposed to the one who is tended to. You’re frustrated. You’re angry. You’re tired. Perhaps no one else knows why. I believe that not even you know why.

But I know why.

The crown is always a burden. But it cannot be borne if you cannot stand.
