Renee’s Quotes

“Of all the imaginable things he most misses about her, the thing he really wishes he could do again is hold her hand in his. She had a way of holding her index finger in his palm, hiding it inside. And he always felt that nothing in the world was impossible when she did that.”

― Dr. David Jeremiah
