"Every day you say something or do something that challenges me, changes me."
"I always wondered if they’d change you."
"Whatever happened, I'd met my person, the one my soul connected to."
"I love you beyond paint, beyond melodies, beyond words. And I hope you will always feel that, even when I'm not around to tell you so."

"You can be brave and still be feminine. You can lead and still love flowers."
"We know you're strong, but accepting help is its own kind of strength."
