“Yes, it was scary, but every time I got a frisson of fear I tried to remember what Frank Quinn was always telling me. "Susan, believe in yourself. You are the person writing your story.”

“When you are sad, your heart pumps the tragedy all through your body and fills your mind with the story of your suffering, and you tell that story to yourself over and over.”

“Your life is your story. Write well. Edit often.”

“ YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME '--I always want to be with youmore than with anyone else.I always want to talk to youbefore anyone else.I always want to laugh with you * walk with you ? * read with you * play with you * be quiet with you * be noisy with youmake plans with youdiscuss the past and future with youYou will always be the person who makes me happy, content, excited and peaceful No matter how much time passes our love will not only prevail but it will be stronger than ever ..”
