Elizabeth Berg
It will happen when you're not looking for it. Love likes to take you by surprise.
Elizabeth Berg
I thought of the priest who'd told me that many religions hold that it is easier to be closely connected to people we love after death than before.
Elizabeth Berg
My mind was in my heart, anchored like a bright kite in a safe place.
Elizabeth Berg
Remember me in your dreams, as I will you.
