Deserve Quote by Christine Zolendz
““Do I think you’re beautiful? Yes. Do I believe you’re sexy? Yes, God forgive me, I do. But what I think about you most is how you deserve to be happy and loved and for once in your life cherished and worshiped … Do I want that person to be me? I would give anything to be able to fill that position, but I wouldn’t be able to give you all of me. God, Callie, you deserve all of someone. You deserve so much more than you give yourself. And to my children and me, it’s an honor to have you in our lives.””
