� I will love you always. When this red hair is white, I will still love you. When the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, I will still want to touch your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled, of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face,I will treasure you all the more, because I was there to see it all. I will share your life with you, Meredith, and I will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine. � � Laurell K. Hamilton

� It is easy to love people in memory; the hard thing is to love them when they are there in front of you. � � John Updike

� Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing. � � Elie Wiesel
