William P. Young
I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.
William P. Young

William P. Young
Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved.
William P. Young
I don't just want a piece of you and a piece of your life. Even if you were able, which you are not, to give me the biggest piece, that is not what I want. I want all of you and all of every part of you and your day.
William P. Young
The intricacy and the inherent beautiful fragility of the human soul is such that it is uniquely damaged and only God knows how to heal it, and it's going to take time.
William P. Young
I'm not an actual author but an accidental one.
