About This Quote
I wanted to see the place where Margaret grew to what she is, even at the worst time of all, when I had no hope of ever calling her mine. For me, I am always happy when I get to see where someone went to after they are gone. Making it my goal to see the person's life as it is now makes me happier than I would be if I never saw their life at all. To know that they are happy now makes me feel like they are still around.
After all, there is not always a reason for people to be unhappy. Some people are meant to be happy all the time even when they don't have anything going for them. There are also those who know how to be happy no matter what happens around them.
