Communication Quote by Sarah M. Cradit
““What would she think if I told her we had had this almost exact conversation many times before? As before, I decided not to argue with her. To her, the answer was simple and she wouldn't see it any other way. I truly believed that my father, to the contrary of her suggestion, would not understand and might never.””
