Because i care Quote by Madeleine L'Engle

“But I love her. That’s the funny part of it. I love them all, and they don’t give a hoot about me. Maybe that’s why I call when I’m not going to be home. Because I care. Nobody else does. You don’t know how lucky you are to be loved.” quote by Madeleine L'Engle
