Quote #10
It was a moment, I reckon, when we both faced the truth. Aunt Belle had left Woodrow on purpose just like my daddy left me. Not because they didn't love us. They did. But their pain was bigger than their love.
You had to forgive them for that. (23.34-35)
Even though a parent leaving a child behind is one of the biggest betrayals Gypsy can think of, she and Woodrow learn to forgive Amos and Belle. After all, Amos and Belle are both loving parents. They just couldn't bear to stick around in a world that had damaged them so much.
