It's a sad thing when pain creeps in or slaps you in the face when you love someone. Yes, I cried yesterday when I was holding Suzie. Yes, I hurt to the core of me to see what's happened to her, but during all this, the flood of love I feel for her washed over everything. The love feels so good! She kissed me when we were leaving. That's what I'm holding on to, to give me strength for whatever is ahead. It's the love that gets you through.

(Wow! Where did that come from? I feel like that wasn't me that said that!)
