whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -
are delicate treasures.

Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

Our hate is not hurting them at all,
but our hate is turning our own days
and nights into a hellish turmoil.
- Dale Carnegie
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm,
