QotD
"A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters
may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives
their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all." --
Washington Irving (b. 1783-04-03, d. 1859-11-28)
"Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of
the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart."
-- Washington Irving (b. 1783-04-03, d. 1859-11-28)
