Chance Quote by Emily McKee

“We get one chance and that one chance can make or break us. Turn our event into enchantment or one of tragedy. Either tears are shed or the sounds of laughter fill a room. We aren't able to click backspace or delete. That's the beauty of real life; good or bad we live in the moment.” quote by Emily McKee
