Kindle Notes & Highlights
You can only find true happiness within yourself, not inside of other people, no matter how much you care about them. Make yourself happy, and the rest will come. I promise.”
“My grandmother always said a lady gave an angel’s smile and kept her devilish thoughts to herself.”
One man’s overlooked blessing is soon another man’s gain.”
“A guy and a girl don’t sit around and talk about their lives and tell each other secrets unless they’re a couple.”
The two of you fight like an old married couple, flirt like you’re in high school, and confide in each other like you’re lifelong best friends. My grandson isn’t pushing you away because he’s afraid to fall for you. He’s pushing you away because he already has.”
But I like to think that maybe heaven is a better place than here and death isn’t always a punishment, but sometimes it’s a reward to put people out of their pain.”
“I think it’s better to spend years treasuring a memory that might hurt sometimes than to never make one at all.”

Love wasn’t about a beautiful dress, a note, or even poignant words. It was about being with someone through thick and thin, about seeing them through not only the best moments of life but also the worst. It was about being there for someone like I would have been there for Reed if he’d let me. I thought of my birth mother. True love was also about forgiveness.
