Anger Quote by Cynthia Mock Burroughs

“Time does have a way of softening most things. Anger, hate, and even loss are often diluted by the passage of time. And memories, well they become more precious as days go by . . . until one day the cup that seemed half-empty, incredibly, becomes half-full.” quote by Cynthia Mock Burroughs — Download Open image
