Father Quote by Pam Muñoz Ryan

“I also had a father, who had loved for a long time without being nearby. How many others were walking around and not even knowing that someone far away cared for them? Imagine all that love floating in the air, waiting to land on someone's life.” quote by Pam Muñoz Ryan
