“Oh, deep winter snow, pale executioner, thou who delights in a slow, torturous death.” ― T. R. Neff, The Falconer and The Wolf

 "I think setting a goal, getting a visual image of what it is you want.  You've got to see what it is you want to achieve before you can pursue it."

••Chuck Norris

“Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did - that everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a parent's heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.”

― Debra Ginsberg
