“Someone told me sleep was the cousin of death and followin’ the dollar finds nothin’ but stress.”

“They told me never fall in love, it never works out in your favor. You way too young and right now thats just human nature.”

“No matter where life takes me, you'll find me with a smile. Presumed to be happy, always laughing like a child. I never thought life could be this sweet! It's got me cheesing from cheek to cheek!”

“If life a joke then I’m waiting for the punch. You all about the beef but me, I’m bout the bun.”

“If u were a friend then u would bail me out of jail, but if u were a BEST friend u would be sitting there saying dame lets do that again!!”

“If you’re looking for lollipops and rainbows while you shop for the latest best seller, you best not come to me. I won’t chat you up and tell you how cute your kid is. I won’t smile and flirt. I won’t stroke your ego about the jewelry you are wearing or the shirt you have on. I will help you find what you need. I will recommend books and hell I even talk about what I liked about one book over another but all that other shit is just not my thing.”

“Tripp was my best friend, my lover, my confidant, my soul mate. He was the salt to my pepper. He was the peanut butter to my chocolate. He gave me love and hope and joy. Together we created our three beautiful girls and together we looked at the world as ours to conquer. In short, he was my other half; the part that completed me.”
