Favorite Quote:
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one. ~Henry Ward Beecher

Some days I need a hand to hold
For I can't go at this alone
This world makes me feel ever so old
Right now, I need a hand to hold

Some days I need a hand to hold
For being out there can be cold
Of all these demands and being told
Right Now, I need a hand to hold

Some days I need a hand to hold
I finally sleep as we grow old
Because I know that in this world
There will always be

...a hand to hold

My Cousin Devin, who regressed into Autism, is not battling to come back out and be normal... Our connection is something that can never be taken away and I will always love him.
