We’ve had our ups and downs. You know, we’ve had our issues, but we’ve had great cause for celebration."

It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend."― Melody Beattie "In school I was pretty quiet. Kinda shy until my junior year. But at home I was a freak."― Dane Cook "It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully, but a greater to accept it graciously."― Logan P. Smith
