V.C. Andrews Quote

There’s a garden in the sky, waiting there for me. It’s a garden that Chris and I imagined years ago, while we lay on a hard black slate roof and stared up at the sun and the stars.He’s up there, whispering in the winds to tell me that’s where the purple grass grows. They’re all up there waiting for me.So, forgive me for being tired, too tired to stay. I have lived long enough, and can say my life was full of happiness as well as sadness. Though some might not see it that way.I love all of you, each equally. I love Darren and Deirdre and wish them good luck throughout their lives, as I wish the same for your child-to-be, Jory.The Dollanganger Saga is over.You’ll find my last manuscript in my private vault. Do with it what you will.It was meant to be this way. I have no place to go but there. No one needs me more than Chris does.But please don’t ever say I failed in reaching my most important goal. I may not have been the prima ballerina I set out to be. Nor was I the perfect wife or mother—but I did manage to convince one person, at last, that he did have the right father.
