She was my dream.....

She was my dream. She made me who I am, and holding her in my arms was more natural to me than my own heartbeat. I think about her all the time. Even now, when I'm sitting here, I think about her. There could never have been another.

~Nicholas Sparks

The reason it hurts.....

The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. 
Maybe they always have been and will be. 
Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one 
and in each of them we've found each other. 
And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. 
That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years 
and a prelude to what will come.

~Nicholas Sparks 

There are moments.....

There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away,

 but I have a feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well. 

So I take the memories as they come, accepting them all, 
letting them guide me whenever I can.”

~Nicholas Sparks

I have faith.....

I have faith that God will show you the answer.

 But you have to understand that
sometimes it takes a while
to be able to recognize what God wants you to do.
That's how it often is.
God's voice is usually nothing more than a whisper,
 and you have to listen very carefully to hear it.
But other times, in those rarest of moments,
the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell. 

~~Nicholas Sparks (The Last Song)

Without you in my arms.....

Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul.

 I find myself searching the crowds for your face -

 I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself." 

~~Nicholas Sparks (Message in a Bottle)

Our souls were one.....

Our souls were one,

if you must know

 and never shall they be apart;

with splendid dawn,

your face aglow

I reach for you

and find my heart

~~Nicholas Sparks

Life, he realized, was much like a song.....

Life, he realized, was much like a song. 

In the beginning there is mystery, 

in the end there is confirmation, 

but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides 

to make the whole thing worthwhile." 

~~Nicholas Sparks

In times of grief and sorrow.....

In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and make your grief my own.  When you cry I will cry and when you hurt I will hurt.  And together we will try to hold back the floods to tears and despair and make it through the potholed street of life.

~~Nicolas Sparks
