Anna Quindlen Quotes About Feelings

• [Después de la muerte de mi madre, tuve una sensación parecida a la nostalgia que siempre me invadió durante los primeros días de estancia en casa de mis abuelos, e incluso, me quedé atónita al descubrirlo, durante los primeros meses de mi primer año en la universidad.
