The truth is, aging can be your realest opportunity to decide how best to live - and the best incentive for getting you to do just that.
Elizabeth Berg
I remove my wedding rings and put them in the jewelry box. So many others have done this. I am not the only one. I am not the only one. But here, I am the only one.
Elizabeth Berg
Abstracts are real and time is a lie, it cannot be measured when one moment can expand to hold everything.
Elizabeth Berg
Just one look and then I knew that all I longed for long ago was you
Elizabeth Berg
Anything we have, we are only borrowing. Anything. Any time.
Elizabeth Berg
You are always in my thoughts. When you were little, I knew your whereabouts at any given moment. Now that you are...off on your own, I still always know where you are, because I keep you in my heart.
