When you fall in love, love deeply. Be tough but also be open to the possibility of forgiveness.

I know you loved her, but it's okay to let it go now. You know that, don't you? You've got to be able to let it go.

Grown-ups always say that things are complicated.

I have loved another with all my heart, and for me that has always been enough.

He didn't believe in a God who sifted through prayers, answering some and ignoring others, no matter how unworthy or worthy a person might be. Instead, he preferred to believe in a God who bestowed all people with gifts and abilities and placed them in an imperfect world; only then was faith tested, only then could faith be earned.

The sky grew darker and the moon rose higher as the evening wore on. and without either or them being conscious of it, they began to regain the intimacy, the bond of familiarity, they had once shared.

If some lives form a perfect circle, other take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand. Loss has been part of my journey. But it has also shown me what is precious. So has love for which I can only be grateful.
