A Birth Certificate shows that we were born

A Death Certificate shows that we died

Pictures show that we lived!

I believe..... That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe....... That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe..... That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
