Oh, the last time how clearly you see everything; as though a magnifying light had been turned on it. And you grieve because you hadn’t held it tighter when you had it every day. What had Granma Mary Rommely said? “To look at everything always as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time: Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.”

Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

I remember when I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith and it’s about ~500 pages, I read it over the course of 4 months and it changed me. It felt so raw and real as we watch Francie, the MC, grow up and lose her childlike wonder. How we watch her fall in love, age, and become the person she ends up at the end of the book. Just, ahhhhhhhh

Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
