"I don’t think you can ever fill the empty space with the thing you lost…I don’t think your missing pieces ever fit inside you again once they go missing. That’s what I realized: if I did get her back somehow, she wouldn’t fill the hole that losing her created."

"As a Christian the Holy Spirit is given to us to put faith in our hearts. Our faith makes us righteous like God is righteous.

We all come together as Christians in one unity to trust God completely for our faith and salvation."
