Alfred Lord Tennyson

“how I miss the girl I love. You with whom I share a piece of me, a piece of my heart. The only one, that dwells deep within. The only one I want to spend my life with, and the only one I will spend my whole life. It is you, the one that stole my heart.”
Philip T. M.
“In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.”
