“I have laughed more than most folks and I have cried just as much. I have lived hard at times, not so hard at others, and even let some days plumb get away from me. But who has not done the same? I have give and I have took. I have had a good run.
The smell of lilacs, cold spring water in my mouth on a hot summer day, the colors of fall, the sound of falling snow.
And what of the greatest of all? What of Love? Oh, I have knowed love. . .”
