"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us tonew understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful
to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never ever the same."
~ Flavia Weedn
