Brooke Shields wrote in the introduction to her book 'There Was a Little Girl' about the 48 years that she knew - yet never really knew - her mother:

"My life always existed somehow in relation to hers. She affected everything in my life. She was at the aspex of it all. Nearly everything I did was for her, in response to her, because of her, or in spite of her. I was either emulating her of trying to define my independence from her. I was either trying to escape her or crash into her.... As a child, I literally couldn't imagine life without her. I used to think that if Mom died, I'd die too."

Bye Mom.
