Love Quote by A.D. McCammon
““I was afraid that letting their love in my heart would replace some of the pain I was feeling. I didn’t want to let go of my pain—I wanted to own every single ounce of it—but I’ve worn my pain like a badge of honor for far too long. It’s time for me to let the love in and the pain out.””
