Cherish





"Love the ones you love with the fear that you may never see them again."

R.W. Dale

I found this quote not too long after my six month old cousin passed away from SIDS in March. Knowing that the little boy that I saw just a few days before, playing on the floor and giggling and laughing, when I made faces at him was no longer here brings more pain than anyone will ever know. We will never know what he could have became. To me it makes perfect sense. You never know when something is going to happen, so love them like there is not going to be a tomorrow.

R.I.P Tyler Matthew Stevens March 17, 2008
R.W Dale was a famous European author. That lived in London England and was most known for his passion and love for those he cared about. Dale was adopted at the age of 5 by a family that was very wealthy and encouraged him to pursue his dreams in becoming a world known author. He wrote five novels and thousands of quotes but this one was closest to his heart. He wrote it for his parents that he lost at a young age.
