"DO EVERYTHING WITH SO MUCH LOVE IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU WOULD NEVER WANT TO DO IT ANY OTHER WAY."
Our greatest moments are spent with the ones we love. From joyful tears shed on a wedding day to soft kisses placed on a newborn baby's cheek, there is nothing quite so wonderful as savoring every moment life has to offer.
