The fact is, the heart and mind aren't always friendly. And in my case, they're barely speaking.

Only love heals. Anger, guilt, and fear can only destroy and separate you from your true capabilities.

You cannot always have happiness, but you can always give happiness.

I guess by now I should know enough about loss to realize that you never really stop missing someone-you just learn to live around the huge gaping hole of their absence.
