Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever give up!
It takes a lot of faith to love someone . . . more than you think you could ever have. By loving someone deeply though all that comes, we learn how to love others better and how to become better people. What I have learned so far is "Hang in there." It's more than a cliche or some thoughtless advice that a person tosses your way instead of listening . . . it's actually a way of life.
