Parenting Quote by Ali Shaw

“His father looked wistful. 'And you don't feel anticlimatic?' What's that?' Somewhat the opposite of elated.' What's elated again?' Good feelings. That is to say, very good. You can feel, can't you? That's what I'm driving at. You don't ever wonder... where feeling went?” quote by Ali Shaw — Download Open image
