i miss you, i miss your smile

for my Nanny

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday and each day before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.

life's not short, life's the longest

thing you'll ever do.

as you breathe right now, another person takes their

last. so stop complaining and learn to live your

life with what you got.

find a heart that will love you at your worst

and arms that will hold you at your weakest.

real women don't look like the ones displayed in the

magazines. they're much more beautiful and

interestinng. it's too bad they don't feel that way

themselves.

i'll help you up when life gets you down. remember to

smile and never frown. live life crazy with no

regrets. never look back but never forget.

here's to the kids who try their hardest to be good enough.

who spend hours scrolling through quotes that describe their

mood. who wait online for that one person just to gather

up the nerve to say hello. who listen to the same song

dozens of times because the lyrics mean a lot. who

deserve much more than they get, and are willing

to fight for it.

in the course of education, you have always been taught

to look for the right answer. but you must also

know that in life sometimes the right answer is that

there isn't one.

~Boy Meets World

the real lover is the man who can thrill

you by kissing your forehead.

~Marilyn Monroe

every person's life has different lyrics,

but in the end we all sing the same song.

^i hate feet, but that's a cute picture

beauty is judged by the size of your heart,

not the size of your jeans.

when she cries the make up runs from her eyes and

it spills the truth about how she

feels inside.

all my life, i'll be with you forever, to get you

through the say and make everything okay.

don't you realize what you are to me, and what you're

always gonna be? you're the love of my life.

everyone else is gonna be second best.

there'll never be another you.

love and death are two uninvited guests. nobody

knows when they come, but both do the same work.

one takes the heart, and the other thats the beat.

^aw

when you're young, you want a man who will make

you forget who you are and where you came from. when

you're old, you want a man who will remind you who

you are and where you are going.

never in a million years did i think i'd find

someone so utterly and completely perfect. someone

who makes me happier than i have ever dreamed i could be.

someone that would touch my life so profoundly and

just give me a whole new reason to breathe. but then i

found you and realized that everything i anticipated you to be,

doesn't even compare to what you are.

^haha

i guess a big part of growing up is dealing with regret.

swallowing your pride. there are some things in

life you can't go back and change, no matter how

much you want to.

the best love is the kind that awakens the soul and

makes us reach for more, that plants a fire

in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.

^have i told you lately-rod stewart

he's the kind of guy that makes you love your name,

just because of the way he says it.

being in love doesn't make me smile, it's

who i'm in love with that does.

in our time together, you claimed a special place in my

heart, one i'll carry with me forever and that

no one can ever replace.

for her, being without him was the same as forgetting how

to laugh. it was that unimaginable.

she says she's fine, but she's going insane. she

says she feels good, but she's in a lot of pain.

she says it's nothing, but it's really a lot. she says

she's okay, but really she's not.

someone will always be prettier. someone will always

be smarter. someone will always be younger.

but they will never be you.

because you're not mad. you want to be, but

you just can't. and when you talk about him,

your eyes sparkle.

i very much apologize for my ability

to fuck everything up.

there are hundreds of languages in the world,

but a smile speaks them all.

don't judge people by what others say about them.

judge them by what they say about others.

he's not your prince charming if he doesn't

make sure you know that you're his princess.

you've got to learn to push through the hard times, because

you have to face them. running from them now will only

make you too tired to fight when they catch up

to you later.

beauty isn't about having a pretty face. it's about having

a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul.

i like the way you make me feel even

when you're nowhere near.

^hhahahaha thats meeeeee

you get me. you're the first person to do that. you don't

care about what i wear or how my hair's fixed.

you just like me for me. i love that.

the secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to

get up eight times.

perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once

in a while, so that we can see life with

a clearer view again.

life's a dance, you learn as you go, sometimes you

lead, and sometimes you follow.

you should step in my shoes and walk for a mile, see

how hard it is to hold back these tears and fake

a smile.

i adore you. you're who i want, who i need,

not necessarily who i deserve, but baby

i'd do anything for you.

and she's just the kind of girl that doesn't say

very much. but when she does, it means a lot.

don't be so quick to judge me, you only see what

i choose to show.

but the struggles make you stronger and the

changes make you wise. and happiness has its

own way of taking its sweet time. life isn't always

beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride.

Rest In Peace
