To be able to touch lives, and touch a life that you don't even know, is an extraordinary thing.

Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that's why they're here. You'll have that gift forever.

Sometimes, if you aren't sure about something, you just have to jump off the bridge and grow your wings on the way down.

Somehow you drift along on the river, and one day you wake up and you’re someplace you don’t want to be, with someone you realize you don’t know.
