Father Died

Famous quotes containing the words father and/or died:

    Any balance we achieve between adult and parental identities, between children’s and our own needs, works only for a time—because, as one father says, “It’s a new ball game just about every week.” So we are always in the process of learning to be parents.
    Joan Sheingold Ditzion, Dennie, and Palmer Wolf. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)

    Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid
    sorrow from mine eyes.
    Why died I not from the womb?
    Bible: Hebrew Job (l. III, 10–11)
