“Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.”

“The best gift we can give other people is our whole selves in truth. By doing so we give them a true and accurate mirror that allows them to see themselves. We also give ourselves the best opportunity to grow.”

“I think we all justlove, as best we can, whoever we think can give us what we need.”

“If we keep our eyes open and our hearts clear, we can realize that life gives us adequate opportunities to experience both love and hope”

“We appreciate the complicated and wonderful gifts you give us in each other. And we appreciate the task you put down before us, of loving each other the best we can, even as you love us.”

“But in life people come and go. We don't always have control over it. But we can control how we respond. We can keep going, keep living the best we can. We can love the people we have instead of shutting them out. We can do our best to get to know them in the time we have.”
