'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away'
'Blessed indeed is a man who hears many gentile voices call him father' - Lydia M. Child
Any man can be a father but it takes someone truly special to be a dad - Unknown
I love my father as the stars - he's my shining example and a happy twinkling in my heart. ~Adabella Radici
'To her, the name father was just another name for love.' - Fanny Fern
'All of the feelings which my father could not put into words were in his hand--any dog, child or small creature could recognize the kindness in his heart.'
-- Freya Stark
The guardian angels of life sometimes fly so high so as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us - Jean Paul Richter
'Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.'
- Eskimo Proverb
'I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief and love is stronger than death.' - Robert Fulghum
Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood
as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving
that we receive,
it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned.
And it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life.
