"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." -Leo F. Buscaglia
R.I.P Lawrence King [01/13/93-02/12/08]:
"Larry was not a second-class citizen. I am not a second-class citizen. It is OK if you're gay. I don't care what people say. I don't care what people think. And I know there are entire groups of people who face discrimination every single day and we're a long way from treating each other equally. All of it is unacceptable. All of it." -Ellen DeGeneres
My darling kitty. I let your previous owner down. I'm sorry those dogs mauled you... I hope Kitty Heaven is fabulous.
My Osky-Osky Poo. I'm sorry I wouldn't let you sleep next to me the other night. I miss you. [09.25.08]
Kitty... my life companion of over a decade... my Kleenex when times were hard. I miss you the most. Rest easy, darling.
I can't find any of your old photos. These will have to do for now.
"There's no time limit,
stop whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same,
there are no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it.
(I hope you make the best of it.)
And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you're proud of.
If you find that you're not,
I hope you have the strength to start all over again." -Benjamin Button
"The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives" [-William James]
"I am so clever that sometimes
I don't understand a single word of what I am saying."
-Oscar Wilde
