Every life has one true love snapshot. - Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet In Heaven

"All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair."

"Each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one."

"There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind..."

"There are five people you meet in heaven. Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on earth. This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for."

"Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to."
