Time is the most valuable thing in life — the only thing we can never recreate or get back. As such, it’s also the most valuable thing someone can give you (or vice versa.)

…things didn’t go our way, we relied on the old adage that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Looking on the bright side was a kind of self-preservation — to actually face how hard life was would have been too painful to bear.

Thank you for handling what you could. Thank you for encouraging me to be as great as I sometimes don’t know that I am. Thank you for concerning yourself with me mind, body, and spirit. One day, I may be able to truly also thank you for letting me go.
