Life Quote by Catherine Ryan Hyde

“You know, you think about who you might meet and when they might come. You always know that someday a door will open and in will come the one you’ve waited for. And then the waiting is done. And the rest of your life can begin. And the minute I looked up and saw you there, I thought, There he is.” quote by Catherine Ryan Hyde
