And this evening when I close my eyes against the darkness and think about her, I'll imagine iridescent wings fluttering, if only for a moment, against cloudless blue skies.

About This Quote

While she may not be seen, you can always feel her presence. You can always feel the magic and the beauty of the world she created. If she was here, however briefly, and with her iridescent wings fluttering against a cloudless blue sky we would be able to see her. If we could see her, we could feel how special she is and how much love is in the world. For those of us that have loved before, this is a beautiful thought.
