Smoke in the North After the Autumn Rain

“I never meant to dazzle anyone, but then you found your way into my heart.”

Meeting you was the greatest stroke of luck in my life.

You are the most dazzling person I’ve ever known.

Every relationship

is worthy of respect.

It may not be perfect, but imperfection can never dim the light of love.

In this book,

one love unfolds gently over time,

one is sweet and moving,

one helps someone become their true self,

one is perfectly in sync,

and one overcomes everything.

…

The expression of love is the most beautiful thing. Over the few decades we have in this life, we tell of our love and show it by saying, “I’ll take your hand and spend the best years of my life with you.”
